Always go for the original Asian films

Why oh why does Hollywood keep remaking these remarkably scary Asian horror flicks? I mean, the American version of Ringu was equally scary as the original, but the others deserve an F. Ju-On: The Grudge, Kairo, Gin Gwai, and now this. "Shutter" is an absolutely terrifying experience. The Main Ghost in this movie is as creepy as Sadako from "Ringu". She's THAT scary. The smart scare techniques really work. And I'm really glad that I don't have to watch the American remake (which I heard recieved negative reviews from both critics and audiences). Hell, I'm glad that I don't have to watch ANY of the American remakes (One Missed Call, The Eye, Pulse, Dark Water, etc.)

P.S. I keep hearing rumors that Hollywood is continuing on remaking Asian films. Have we really run out of ideas for a "good" Hollywood movie? September 26, 2008

surprisingly good!

Ok, so I hate most horror flicks. Why? Because they are not scary. I watch horror movies to laugh at the cheesy special effects. But the original Shutter (NOT the lamest of lame remake with the guy from Dawson's Creek) actually creeped me out a little. And isn't that why we have horror movies-to be scared? So 5 stars and 2 thumbs up for the only film that has ever managed to make me nervous when the lights went out. September 21, 2008

A truly scary experience...

This Thai release is very original, managing to use the scares effectively and to unravel a mystery that leads to a truly surprising, albeit grim, ending. The Ghost in this movie is much creepier than a lot of her asian horror brethern, without being overly monstrous.

Highly recommended. September 21, 2008

Shutter - The Original

This version is alittle Darker than the American remake.
Also be ready to read Sub-titles.
I rate this DVD a 8 from 1to10!! September 16, 2008

Scary!

I'm always a big fan of original, asian horror movies. This one did not dissapoint me at all. It did surpass my expectations as it did come par up with Ju-On and Ringu. Great job on this one. September 14, 2008
