| First of all, if you're a horror fan, see it. You will enjoy this film. Period.Know this - I've seen a billion horror flicks from all around the world... This one gave me the creeps. First 20-30 minutes you still have time to relax from scare to scare, but from then on it's just plain scary shiyet.This movie gets you in the right atmosphere right from the start, and it has almost every type of scene a horror fan can ask for You'll know what I mean when you see it . I don't really care much about originality, but the story is original and interesting. The best thing about <more> |
| Oh wow, oh jeez, this is the scariest freakin' movie since The Eye! (by Potty-Man) |
| Shutter is a new horror film from Thailand, in the tradition of recent Asian horror films like Ringu and The Eye, and it scared the bejeevery-jeezes out of me! The directors are called Banjong Pisanthanakun and Parkpoom Wongpoom it rhymes! and this is their first feature, and looking at the movie, it's hard to believe so. It looks very professional and slick, and it excels in every aspect: from shot design to sound use to pacing. The atmosphere is bowl-clenchingly tight, the tension is almost never relieved, and the movie contains quite a lot of scares; they come in all shapes and sizes <more> |
| Truly a horror masterpiece! (by bonnie91) |
| This Asian horror film starts off with a young couple Tun and Jane driving back from a get-together late one night and hitting a girl that suddenly appears on the road. This may sound very cliché to seasoned horror fans, but what ensues in the film is anything but. Tun Ananda Everingham is a professional photographer. He starts noticing some strange flaws in his pictures. This is the beginning of the best ghost story I've ever seen, with truly amazing special effects so good they make you feel that they're really happening and not just concocted for the movie , excellent acting, <more> |
| A Great Movie. (by lindsayprazak) |
| I saw this movie for the first time 2 weeks ago at the Bangkok International Film Fest and it is amazing!! Not only is it scary as hell I've never screamed so much in a movie before and I'm an avid horror movie fan , it has a wonderful and original plot line. Throughout the entire movie, i thought i was going to have a heart attack i was so scared. I give a lot of credit to the 2 young directors of this movie. They are only in their early 20's and concocted a unique and entertaining film. Yesterday I just bought it on DVD and I cannot wait to watch it with my friends at home; <more> |

| probably the best Asian horror after the ring (by rapidperambulator) |
| Not that i've seen every Asian horror movie out there of course. i've seen most of the biggies though - ring, ring 2, ju-on, dark water, cure, plus some others i can't remember the names of, and this is up there with the best.Style-wise its not very original and borrows heavily from the Ring in its presentation, but whats wrong with that? Especially when its done as well as this. It's also scarier than the ring in terms of jump-out- of-the-seat moments, though it doesn't have any scenes quite on a par with the ring's freaky crawl out the telly scene, but then <more> |
| You Cannot Escape Your Past (by Mappyman) |
| with a slew of Japanese horror films being released its a surprise to see one as good as Shutter comes not from Japan but Thailand.Shutter focuses on Tun. A recent high school graduate who has a keen interest in photography. While driving late one night with his girlfriend Jane something or someone in the dark causes them to swerve off-road. whoever they hit, if they lived through it, if they didn't they're unsure. They flee the scene but nothing is the same anymore. Nightmares happen for both Tun and Jane as well as strange occurrences in Tuns photographs. Some of Tuns close friends <more> |
| Big Treat for Adrenalin Junkie . . (by RedSharkz) |
| Shutter starts with using the ghost appearance phenomena on photograph as the main theme, but as far as the movie goes, it reveals the plot regarding to long-lost love and bitter past life of the main character. i didn't expect too much from Shutter cause i thought it'd be another regular horror movie. and it's from Thailand, which has produced some bad quality movie of this genre At the end, i liked it. OK, it contains Asian-horror cliché, but the plot, the story and the puzzle are well-connected. not to mentioned the shocking sound effects and the superb conclusion. it's <more> |
| The dead will missing their dearest (by ajreal) |
| I don't really like thai horror movie, they are quite a few lousy file, like "The Sister", "Bangkok Hunted", but this movie is really outstanding and damn scaring!The scripts is well plotted. Most of the scene/riddle have been explained clearly at the end of the movie.One of the remarkable is the casting: 1. the main actress is attractive and sunny, innocent enough just like a next door girl , has express the role in a very good manner 2. the main actor is handsome, and behave coward enough 3. the ghost female has fair enough and good enough to be a ghost even <more> |
