american remakes just don't compare to the original asian movies. this is nothing like the movie from thailand. the thai version was really scary and the story makes sense. it was perfect the way it was but this one really sucks. just because the asian version became a hit doesn't mean the american version will be great too. for anyone planning to rent or buy this movie, just get the original shutter movie from thailand and watch it with english subtitles.this remake is a real waste of time and money.

This movie had Clips from the ring in it, its like they tried to slip them in there like no one would notice. The scary parts werent even scary. They would just flash over to something and play a loud sound. Dont waste your money on this film. If you have epilepsy DO NOT atch this film, for like a minute the whole screen flashs a really bright white light which i thought was toatally un-needed in the film. I almost walked out of the theater this film was so low budget and horrible.

Ok this movie wasnt anything like I expected! It wasnt even scary. I went with my 2 guy friend and my best friend and it wasnt scary, but only 2 things mad me jump but thats all! I did expect a little more but it wasnt a bad movie. I just would tell anyone to see it or buy it.

The original Thai horror flick of the same title is EXCELLENT. It is MUCH more intense, creative, and creepy!! If you are reading this, rent THAT. If you don’t like foreign films because you have to read, disregard this review as you are not worthy of consuming great Art anyway. Like all the Hollywood ripoffs of J-horror flicks and the recent "the Eye" (Chinese original is EXCELLENT) this remake totally misses the point and replaces perfect mood with pretty actors.American Horror has very little to offer nowadays except on the Indie film front ("Feast" and "Slither" ROCK!). Get curious about Asian Horror, there's a reason is. If you can't read that fast, go read some more books. Great Art rewards those who are intelligent, that's why this lame remake was made for us illiterate Americans.

Lot's of people are saying that Shutter is a bad movie, when really it's not so bad. When I first saw it I thought it was pretty stupid but I just thought that cuz the trailers were SO misleading!! The trailers I saw for Shutter are totally different from what really happens in the movie. Anyway, the plot is really good and it's easy to follow. I've never seen the original version, but this one is pretty good. It's not really a horror movie though. More of a thriller cuz it didn't even make me scared and I hardly ever watch scary movies. But yeah anyway, it had a good plot and I think the actors were really good and did a good job portraying their characters too. So if you really want to see Shutter, go and see it!
