Fright lovers who thought Asian horror movies were becoming somewhat stale and
repetitive in recent years will find great delight in the creepy Thai shocker
SHUTTER, which, while starting off on what seems like overly-familiar ground,
manages to turn the genre on its head with a truly unexpected plot development,
a cracking final reel and a terrifying closing image that will haunt viewers
long after the credits have rolled.
Driving home from a drinking party, photographer Tun and his girlfriend Jane
accidentally knock down a teenage girl. But rather than going to the victim's
aid, Tun convinces Jane to leave the scene of the accident. In the days
following the incident, bizarre ghostly images begin to appear on photographs
taken by Tun. Investigations into the cause of this mysterious phenomenon lead
Tun and Jane to a girl from Tun's past and a very dark and deeply disturbing
secret.
An effective ghost story that combines atmospheric chills with plenty of
shock moments, SHUTTER has already inspired an American remake, currently in
production for release in 2008 and set to star Joshua Jackson (Cursed; Dawson's
Creek) and Rachael Taylor (Transformers; See No Evil).
