Shutter
is supposed to be a horror film meant to give viewers the willies,
but fails big-time by rating it PG13.
It holds back the CGI effects so common
in horror films, making it little more than a series of predictable
conversations with eerie loud sound effects letting you know
whenever you're supposed to be afraid.
I think the only message the ghost really
sends is, "ha, ha, ha, I ruined your pictures." |
In the world of Asian scare films, this
remake shows you just how bad one can be, and why we see films--so
you don't have to.
A young photographer and his wife are terrorized
as images of a dead girl continually appear on his photographs,
proving there is no modern technology safe from the spirit world.
Yes, it's as idiotic as it sounds! |
The movie, Shutter, is the latest
Asian remake of a 2004 Thailand ghost tale.
This Americanized horror film fumbles through
several awkward flashbacks to tell a convoluted story that winds
together.
The original flick might have made more
sense, but this picture ultimately unravels at the end with a
contrived scheme in the crazy plot plan. |
