Shutter

There was nothing particularly great about the movie," Shutter", and as a horror fan I was let down considerably, thinking I was going to be in for a surprisingly good thrill. Also, this was a lousy attempt at an American remake in every way possible. The original Asian version was definitely a lot better. If I had known the movie was going to be such a flop I wouldn't have bothered wasting my time and money on it. The previews for the trailer are very deceiving, and leave you with a false sense that you are going to see a great horror movie. From the first opening scene it is painfully obvious that the two main characters have zero chemistry, as well as an awkwardness felt between them at certain times. The worst part is the acting, and some of the horror scenes are actually laughable. As for the story's climax, there is hardly any suspense at all, and after awhile the plot seems to drop off, leaving you as dazed as a deer in headlights. Also, the visuals are bad, and the film looks cheaply made, and not to mention, has a slow pace. However, if there is one redeeming quality about this picture, I guess it would be the cinematography. There are some very beautiful nature scenes throughout. As someone who knows their horror movies, please heed my warning and stay away from this one."Shutter" is one for the trash can.
