Shutter (American Style)


(2008)*½

A newlywed couple is haunted by the ghostly image of a woman who continues to appear in their pictures. They begin to investigate thinking it may be the ghost of a girl they believe they may have hit with their car, although a body was never found. The truth is far more scandalous and damaging to their relationship than they ever imagined.

To echo JPX & Whirly’s reviews, this is just another crappy remake of a nice J-horror flick. The bottom line here is that it just wasn’t scary. You really don’t care about the characters at all; I didn’t even feel sympathetic towards them in the least.

The ghost just sucks, totally not freaky in the least bit. This film was crap.

Ugh, that last picture perfectly illustrates why this remake stinks - that ghost ain't scary!
