A newly married couple discovers disturbing, ghostly images in photographs they develop after a tragic accident. Fearing the manifestations may be connected, they investigate and learn that some mysteries are better left unsolved.
Though a presentation of 20th Century Fox, Shutter has the look and feel of a proper J-horror film.

At some point in Shutter you will probably lose count, along with your patience, but the film will keep right on going.

Shutter is seriously short on shudders.

With Shutter, that nerve-tingling soundtrack gets heavy use almost from the beginning of the movie. It becomes tiresome.

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.
