TOMATOMETER
AUDIENCE SCORE
Critic Consensus: Being a remake of a Thai horror film instead of Japanese doesn't prevent Shutter from being another lame Asian horror remake.

Will the next terror-minded remake involve a possessed telegraph machine or a grudge-minded ox and cart? Neither option could be any lamer than the shock-free Shutter.
With Shutter, that nerve-tingling soundtrack gets heavy use almost from the beginning of the movie. It becomes tiresome.
Shutter is seriously short on shudders.
At some point in Shutter you will probably lose count, along with your patience, but the film will keep right on going.
Though a presentation of 20th Century Fox, Shutter has the look and feel of a proper J-horror film.
If Shutter is any indication, the reputation of professional photographers is still on the wane. Not only are photographs creepy, the film suggests, but so are photographers.
Audience Reviews for Shutter
Scary but a pretty bad storyline!
Super Reviewer
Inferior remake of the super-creepy Thai original from 2004. I say inferior but to be fair it was not too bad. Having seen the original version I knew the story and twists but I tried to watch as if I didn't know. It definitely lacks scares and that creepy atmosphere the Thai version had, but the last 35 minutes or so it provides some decent chills of its own.
Super Reviewer
The Shutter remake is yet another attempt to remake a good Japanese horror film into a crappy not so original or scary film for a tween audience. A sorry film from start to finish, this film fails and is unremarkable. The film like all remakes relies on fancy CGI to build horror, but with a cast of has been teen actors, this film is plainly terrible. It was well made, but it failed to deliver anything scary. Watch the original instead.
