I picked up this movie because I like Asian horror movies, and this one turned out to be quite a surprisingly nice one. Lots of interesting horror movies make it out of Asia, but they rarely get the publicity in Western countries that would do them justice.

The story of "Shutter" is exciting and captivating. You will get wrapped up in the story and the suspense. The movie will grasp you firmly and not let you go before the credits start scrolling over the screen.

I don't find Asian ghosts to be scary, but my wife (whom is Asian) does, and she was terrified with this movie.

The story is not predictable and it have some really nice twists to throw you entirely off the hook. The public restroom scene was amazing, builds up lots of suspense and then leaves you laughing hard. I love that scene, it was so funny.

If you are to watch an Asian horror movie, your money will not be wasted if you pick this one. It is thrilling from start till end. And it is one of those movies that you will pick up at a later point and watch it again.

Now the bad thing about Asian horror movies is that Hollywood have some sick compulsive urge to "Americanize" them into remakes that usually end up being an insult to the official Asian version. "Shutter" spawned an American remake also, which wasn't overly impressive. Not that it should be held against the Asian versions, but it is just a shame that Hollywood need to milk Asian horror for all their worth in pointless American versions.

A word of advice, if you ever find yourself standing with an Asian version of a horror movie and an American remake of the Asian movie, always go for the Asian one!

But back to "Shutter"... The movie have good characters, and the actors perform well. The dialogue is good and the scenery is great. There is a good, gloomy feel to the entire movie. It always keeps you on the edge of the seat, begging for more - and the movie will deliver!

Here we have a Thai horror film, very much in the style of RING, THE GRUDGE, and THE EYE, that absolutely excels at what it does. A slow burning chiller with a handful of standout scares, SHUTTER is a film set in familiar territory that nevertheless revitalises the genre and goes to show that genuine scares can still be had from the most predictable of situations. The story itself is about a photographer who begins to see strange things in the photos he takes; a mysterious, ghost-faced woman seems to be haunting him.

Before long, his girlfriend and his buddies are involved in the mystery, which gradually begins to be solved in a piece-by-piece style. By the time of the climax, there have been loads of twists and turns, and all of them are superior. They're topped by a final reveal, complemented by some flashbacks, which has instantly become one of my all-time favourite twists, up there with THE SIXTH SENSE for sheer, breathtaking, rug-out-from-under-your-feet surprise.

The cast is strong and Ananda Everingham copes very well in what is a difficult, multi-layered performance. As the ghost girl, Achita Sikamana is sweeter rather than scary, but her presence in the film gives it a moving, emotional edge lacking in the Japanese chillers. SHUTTER is all about emotion, and the same can be said of that other classic, THE EYE. That's not to say that there isn't horror, because the film is awash with creepy moments. The ghost girl pops up in all manner of unexpected situations, and the encounter with some real-life spirit photography is supremely disturbing. In the end, this polished movie is a rare beast: a flawless effort, exemplary in every respect and a modern day classic.
