Shutter, the first things that comes to a persons mind would be a camera. Imagine a small piece of equipment that captures life’s most precious memories. Twisting the thought a little gives you the concept of shutter portrayed through the movie of the same name. Shutter starts with a newly weds heading off to Japan for their honeymoon, on their way Jane Shaw (Rachael Taylor) runs over a lady that she saw on the road. After Benjamin Shaw (Joshua Jackson) starts his job, strange things start to happen, strange appearances of an extra person in the photos taken by Benjamin and visions of the same girl that appear to Jane. Jane sets out to uncover the secret of this spirit that haunts the couple. The revelation of the mysterious appearances is really freaky.
The cast assembled for this movie is good, with Joshua as Benjamin, Rachael as Jane and Megumi Okina as Megumi. Megumi did a very good job is a spirit, even though spirits are not meant to express anything apart from keeping a straight face. According to Reuters, Shutter has been set in Japan in order to pay homage to its original. The movie is really freaky if seen in cinemas, the effect would be totally lost if you sit down at home with a pop-corn and drinks, some scenes really make u shiver. Over all I would give this movie a 8/10. I stop what ever I m doing when I have a neck pain. The movie being a remake of a J-horror movie of the same title is directed by Masayuki Ochiai. Although there is not much known about the director (IMDB having only a handful of movies to his filmography) it was good to know that Masayuki has won a two awards (IMDB) for two of his works.

PS: if you have seen this movie, and have a neck pain, don’t burn yourself. It defiantly will not work.
