Shutter Review

In this Japanese remake, photographer Ben (Jackson) and Jane (Taylor), newly weds head to Japan for a job assignment for Ben. While driving Jane incurs an accident in which she believes she has hit a Japanese girl, but there is no trace of a body. Strangely when the couple reviews pictures from their wedding and from Ben's photo shoot, there seems to be blurs that appear to be a ghost (the girl that Jane hit) in each picture. Jane enlists the help of a local group who specialize on the matter of spirit photography and finds there is a connection between Ben and the ghost. Soon anyone that was involved with Ben and his secret begin to mysteriously die.

Reel Talk:

If you've seen the Grudge or The Ring, you'll pretty much say this film is a mirror to them. Not much on originality, and very little in regards to the fear factor. Even though this is not even a good horror movie, it was a little bit better (not much) than the before mentioned films .
