Hahahahaha. Why do I subject myself to this nonsense?

Poor horror movie, with most of the 'horror' mysteriously absent, and the shocks coming with a 2 minute notice period. Plodding.

This was a movie that I thought had some potential. I would have liked the way the story line weaved into the TWIST of the ending, except that it was so predictable, you could see it coming a mile away. I know Joshua Jackson could have pulled out a better performance than what he did. But the problem with the potential of a movie, is that if certain things are done wrong, it will really go wrong. There were some tense scenes and there were some scenes of creepiness, but it wasn't capitalized

Ah, Japan. How I love your finely crafted cameras, the perfect balance of innovative and traditional in your post-modern architecture, your foreign-devil driven gang rape--er, what?

"Shutter is a ghost story free of logic and spirit, representative of everything that's wrong with so much of current mainstream studio fare." - Rob Humanick

piece of crap film that fails to both entertain and frighten. The story was retarded. and just FUCK waste of time.

kinda creepy...i'm sure the japapese version was better

How could the director of the excellent Parasite Eve do this? It's not inventive at all, relies way too heavily on the same scare, and all I learned was that SPOILER SPOILER gay rape is bad END SPOILER END SPOILER. Nice.

The moral? Gang-raping Japanese girls and filming it is bad. *GONG*

Comedically bad.

They should have changed one of the vowels in the title

A newlywed couple is being haunted by a ghost that can only be seen by a camera and thankfully we've got the guy from Dawson's Creek on the case! This is one of the most derivative, unexciting movies I've ever seen in my life. It's so forgettable that I've already forgotten almost everything I've seen and the movie just ended 4 hours ago. This isn't one of those so-bad-it's-funny types, it's just downright bad. But as long as these keep getting made, I'll keep seeing them.

A horror movie rated PG-13 - isn't it an oxymoron?

Great in the japanese horror genre.

Waste of film. Terrible, terrible movie.

No scares, no excitement, no tension. We do, however, get a speech about how Polaroids can't be faked. Wait, what?

A photographer and his skeleton skinny wife find out not-so-surprising haunted past of a girl. Lots of familiar scenes and set ups from the other horror movies. Not a scary movie at all and it has nothing new to offer for the genre. Skip if you can. I haven't seen the original.

Only rated because it made me, and some old people, and my friend, laugh.

Well, I did learn some important lessons. 1. Never let your friends rape a jap cause she was "annoying" cause apparently she will haunt you forever. 2. Never watch a movie with Joshua Jackson in it again unless it involves him getting punched in the balls repeatedly. 3. kill alex for making me watch this

Just what the world needs, another cliched, ridiculous horror movie. Thank you, Hollywood!

TERRIBLE

"...feels like a made-for-TV movie."

From the minute the car swerved off the road, avoiding the Japanese woman, I could see every cliche making its way to the screen. Was I ever gripping my seat? No, not after a ghost was messing with photography equipment. There comes a point when the supernatural meets the ridiculous, that's what Shutter turned out to be. Every single pattern involved in The Ring and The Grudge has been compiled to create this film. Simply uncreative.

As a horror movie, it did not scare. As a thriller movie, it did not trill. As a mystery movie, there was nothing mysterious about it. I kinda 'sensed' what was happening well before it happened. This is another westernised ripoff, where the original was better in everyway. Its a shame because I think Joshua Jackson is better than this; else he should stick to 'Fringe'.

LOL so cliche

ridiculuous, funny horror

"The main problem is that they spelled the title wrong. The first vowel should be an I."
