Shutter

Shutter another Japanese remake yee haw!
So basically Pacey from Dawson’s Creek (that’s what we’ll call him) and Roy from the Office are buddies over in Tokyo.  Pacey just got married but then there’s a terrible accident as his wife hits this girl in the road and their car swerves off the road and they crash into a tree.  They both survive as this movie really drags along at a jobberish pace. 
Pacey is a photographer and has a bunch of photoshoots but they are ruined by some weird developments as there’s smudges in many of the photos.  The girl that they hit end up haunting them both...through the pictures.  Is she out for revenge from being hit by a car or is there something larger at work here?  The last 1/4th of the movie moved it from being total garbage to just below average.  A few twists towards the end made it not a total waste of time but for the runtime on this movie being in the 85 minute range it’s really not worth your cash.  I mean damn this was shorter than Horton Hears a Who.  So go ahead and pass on this one unless you really are desperate to watch a mild horror flick.  Personally I’d rather suggest that you hold out for Prom Night which is going to be terribly terrible or terribly awesome. Or The Ruins that looks to me like The Descent meets Slither.  Anyways next week it’s a step away from the horror and a step into the Casino.
Shutter-  4/10
Next Review-  21
