It's a strange film about a newborn couple, Ben and Jane, who decided to move to Japan to get a promising job. The duo tries to experience a fashion shoot in Tokyo, but things change completely after a tragic accident. The duo begins to discover disturbing and dazzling images in the photographs they are developing. Now, both are looking and learning that it is better to leave some puzzles unresolved during that period.
Out of the list of horrible remakes I've experienced in 2008, "Shutter" really isn't the worst one I've seen yet, but it sure does suck enough to rank up there...
If Shutter is any indication, the reputation of professional photographers is still on the wane. Not only are photographs creepy, the film suggests, but so are photographers.
Will the next terror-minded remake involve a possessed telegraph machine or a grudge-minded ox and cart? Neither option could be any lamer than the shock-free Shutter.
