Rating:  - One of the better SE Asian horror flicks I've seen in some time.
Shutter (Banjong Pisanthanakun and Parkpoom Wongpoom, 2004)
I was unaware that the recent American horror film Shutter was a remake until I accidentally stumbled upon this. (I should have known better; aren't most American horror films remakes these days?) I haven't seen the American version yet-- it's in the queue-- but I liked the original a great deal.
Tun (The Leap Years' Ananda Everingham) is a graduation photographer. Along with his girlfriend, Jane (Noodle Boxer's ... Read More
Rating:  - Terrific!
I enjoyed this one very much. The plot has been already well explained by others so no need to go over it again here. (If I had to say anything about it, I'd say it's a story of obsessive love from beyond the grave). The ghost lady seemed to have been borrowed from Ju-On, (The Grudge) at times, though admittedly not as effective as that one, but the whole movie was very interesting and absorbing to follow and very well done indeed. I didn't get bored at all and loved every minute of it. No annoying ... Read More
Rating: - The best Asian horror I've seen
I've watched a number of Asian horror films, and at times have found them to be unsettling, but sometimes lacking a coherent story to give the scenes context. "Shutter" puts to rest any such notion.

It's tension comes not from special effects or gore, but from a truly fascinating (if not original) plot involving engaging characters, mysterious photos, a vengeful spirit, and the impact of past decisions on ...

Rating: - This is why I love Asian horror movies.
Always a good story, and this one was a little easier to follow. And I have to admit there are very few Asian movies with a rape scene in them. That was surprising, but I really enjoyed this, I haven't seen the American version of this movie, as a rule they aren't as good as the original Asian ones. Just my opinion. Enjoy!
Rating: - Horrifying movie
It's horrifying, in a good way! It does make you squirm, but out of tension and apprehension, not out of "Oh, wow, this movie is so hard, I'm embarrassed for the actors and director!"
While it's not revolutionary - requisite Asian ghost with dangling black hair crawling around - it does bring a more human side to horror and ghost's vengeance.
There are some scream-inducing moments, and perhaps the Thai culture would seem a bit weird to Westerners/other Asians, but the secret ... Read More
