A swing and a miss! Completely derivative horse shit. Cool ending, though, and surprisingly solid performances. Too bad it isn't scary, relying heavily on audio cues (some of which are shockingly misused) and falling back on the old, now unscary Asian girl ghost crutch. Shutter i...( read more)
Best watched at night with the lights down to get the full effect. There are images here that can SCARE even the most hardened of viewers. Too bad the story is totally ludicrous and unoriginal, otherwise this would have been a great horror movie.
Wonderfully shot horror film whose atmosphere far exceeds the film itself. Again it's an Asian horror film that focusses around an investigation, a dead girl and many twists. The first problem comes from the initial hit and run incident. Neither person seems that bothered after h...( read more)
pretty good asian ghost flick. the story is revealed slowly but told well. the ghost looks quite freaky and the main actors play their roles strongly, especially the guy. definitely worth a watch!
Definitely one of the better Ring knockoffs coming out of Asia recently. Shutter has a good premise and some genuinely spooky moments, and it's nice to see a hero in the lead rather than the typical wispy heroine. Great fun, certainly recommended.
very well done movie,But the North American version is alot better.This is just your typical Asian ghost flick
This isn't a bad supernatural thriller. Some scares here and there. Otherwise, pretty predictable and a similar plot to most other horrors.
Every time my girlfriend runs over somebody on a lonely stretch of highway she always starts in with the whining! "We should have checked the body! We shouldn't have just driven away! Boo-hoo I feel so guilty".
Of course the person always ends up haunting us, turning out to be c...( read more)

Wrong film you stupid bitch...but then again, you did go see the REMAKE in theaters, so that shows just how you are. This is the ORIGINAL from 2004!
....wow.. once again.. laughing to hard. had to leave the movie theater. ok, the ending was pretty cool. rest of it. just f-ing ridicuouls
Personally, I think they should continue to remake asian ghost stories, bc quite frankly, many of them are damn good, tho quite often, they are not as good as the originals. That doesn't mean that they should stop making them. What it might mean is that Hollywood should pull its head out of its ass and make them better!
Let me start by saying is a rip off of few Asian ghost films from the pale girl crawling in bed,the bathtub scene & the hallway scenes when the ghost always shows up to creep out someone,Etc....Slow in parts & rely in a good score to create a creepy mood but then not that much happens & at times glimpses of the ghost in different forms.Watching this film was like looking at another sequel for The Grudge.
US should stop remaking these same Ghost Asian Films,nothing original can be expected.Otherwise gonna add more to the line-up of bad PG-13 horror remakes from Pulse,Dark Waters & The Grudge.
I have seen this movies many times and thought it's one of the good ghost stories, reasonable and continually want to know what will happen next or how was the relationship between each character. Like other Asian ghost movies the belief in the lives after death.
