"Shutter" spawned an American remake also, which wasn't overly impressive. Now the bad thing about Asian horror movies is that Hollywood have some sick compulsive urge to "Americanize" them into remakes that usually end up being an insult to the official Asian version. And it is one of those movies that you will pick up at a later point and watch it again.
If you are to watch an Asian horror movie, your money will not be wasted if you pick this one. The public restroom scene was amazing, builds up lots of suspense and then leaves you laughing hard. The story is not predictable and it have some really nice twists to throw you entirely off the hook. I don't find Asian ghosts to be scary, but my wife (whom is Asian) does, and she was terrified with this movie. The movie will grasp you firmly and not let you go before the credits start scrolling over the screen. You will get wrapped up in the story and the suspense. The story of "Shutter" is exciting and captivating. Lots of interesting horror movies make it out of Asia, but they rarely get the publicity in Western countries that would do them justice. I picked up this movie because I like Asian horror movies, and this one turned out to be quite a surprisingly nice one. Reviewed by paul_haakonsen 8 / 10 A very good Thai horror movie
