Shutter


For all the Japanese remakes they are doing, this is one of the better ones. I've seen all of them except for the Grudge 2 because the first Grudge was terrible. As far as Japanese horror remakes go, The Ring will probably be one of the scariest movies I've seen. Back to Shutter, I liked this one. Yes I was annoyed by the whole going to Japan. I'm sure it could have been staged in North America, but whatever. Somewhat predictable, I guessed the ending at the beginning, but it still had its moments for me. I like being scared, but not so much that I have nightmares and can't recover. The lead actress wasn't that bad. I haven't seen her in anything before this. It would bee nice to see her in something else in the future. Maybe a rom-com. Best scene ever is the studio flash scene. I screamed. I've decided that any horror movies I waltch by myself will be during the day, that way I'm less scared then if I were watching when it's dark. I still have the I can't have my feet on the floor in case someone pulls me under kind of feeling. This is why waiting for scary movies on DVD is so much better, you can avoid that feeling. I'm not going to go through the plot, because most likely you will guess the ending too if you're like me. Either way, its one of the better horror movies that doesn't consist of complete gore for scare factor.
