I’m not one of those who fears every remake in the works, but I was a bit wary of Shutter because I consider the original one of the few truly good Asian ghost stories. The American version is not terrible, but the original remains unsurpassed and therefore the remake feels redundant. I still remember the tremors of terror while watching the original Shutter, here I didn’t even feel a chill down my spine; basically, in terms of horror, it’s very weak, but it’s watchable. Average 50%. ()
Pure average. Everything works as it should. But you won't find anything extra here. ()
