Review of Shutter (2004) by Sandra S — 11 Feb 2009

In my opinion this is the scarriest movie i've ever watched, even more scarry than the ring (aka ringu) I couldnt even sleep all night after watched this movie.The story is really original.

Forget about lousy American remake. check out the original. Yes, it?s another film about a pissed-off female spirit with long black hair out for vengeance, but Shutter tries hard to make the otherwise familiar proceedings fresh. The filmmakers create a conflicted protagonist who isn?t your standard goody-two shoes, allowing for a depth usually not seen in characters in this type of movie. But what really sets Shutter apart is how the directors milk the film?s spooky concept (ghosts appearing in photographs) for all its worth, using both striking visuals and an incredibly effective sound design to heighten the chill factor.
