Review of Shutter

At first I thought this was going to be another disappointment and it was slow going, though watchable, but it picked up nicely near the end making up for the beginning to middle. Near the conclusion there is a scene that was very well done and scary, I even jumped and it gave me a good shiver. This was how horror scenes should be done! Excellent tension and special effects with a big wallop of a surprise. Yes, this has the typical elements of Japanese horror but it's well shot and generates good suspense and thrills especially near the end. The two main actors were very competent and played their roles well. The special effects were quite good and believable. I can see Hollywood remaking this and it will probably be TERRIBLE. This is one foreign horror where the original will be the one to see. This is a good one for all you horror buffs, lately I haven't seen anything good in the horror genre but this was an exception.
