Movie Review: Another Atrocious Hollywood Re-Make Of A Great Asian Horror Movie
Summary: 2 Stars
This is probably the third worst re-make of an Asian horror movie I have had the unfortunate luck and choice of watching(The first movie I feel was The Ring 2 and the other was The Grudge 2). Another point I like to say is one or two reviewers keep saying how this is a horrible J-horror re-make when an actuality the original is a horror movie from Thailand. This re-make does at least follow most of the original story-plot for the most part and that's probably one of the few things I can think of that I like about the re-make. The short storyline is that you have three male friends who are all working or living in Japan and seem to be great people but these three have actually committed a horrible crime in their past and have covered it up. Here is where you see one of the three who has recently gotten married and is working for one of the other three friends as a professional photographer. Then the wife starts to see and experience unusual things causing her husband who's at first skeptical to check it out. After a while the husband and his other two friends start to experience the same phenomenon and than after a few says one of the three friends is killed by some spirit. Of course you'll learn more of why this is happening to the three male friends and why the wife is part of the spiritual phenomenon too. Some of the actors weren't to bad but in all it seemed to me that most were acting pretty stale and really without any true emotions or feelings in their characters during the movie. So at the end if you truly like Asian horror movies I say stick with the originals and stay away from most of these horrible Hollywood re-makes.
Summary of Shutter (Widescreen) (Unrated Edition)
A young photographer and his girlfriend discover mysterious shadows in their photographs after a tragic accident. They soon learn that you can never escape the past as a ghost continuously haunts them! System Requirements:Running Time: 86 minutesFormat: DVD MOVIE Genre:?HORROR/DEMONS UPC:?024543523864 Manufacturer No:?2252386Based on a 2004 Thai horror flick, this surprisingly effective Hollywood remake is actually set in Tokyo. That's where newlywed hubby Joshua Jackson has taken bride Rachael Taylor (Transformers) for an ill-advised honeymoon. They hit a woman standing in the middle of a spooky road, after which all sorts of ghosts seem to emerge from Jackson's camera (he's come to Japan for a fashion-photography gig). Can our plucky heroine, a fish out of water in a confusing city, find the answer to this haunted puzzle? Well, yes, but she won't like what she finds. Shutter is distinguished by director Mayasuki Ochiai's compositional eye, which favors the empty, creeped-out spaces in which ghosts might dwell. The movie also gets into the phenomenon of "spirit photography," which suggests that the dear departed make their presence known as white flashes in snapshots. That stuff's kind of fun; unfortunately, Ochiai's ear for dialogue is as clunky as his eye is sharp, and Jackson and Taylor are saddled with some truly unfortunate exposition. The actors don't leave much of an impression either, although Megumi Okina (leading lady of Ju-on: The Grudge) is sufficiently spooky as a woman who will not be ignored. --Robert Horton
