They decide to make a hit and run but soon enough weird things start appearing in the photo- graphers photos. It doesn't take too long before they realize that the haunting memories of the accident isn't the only thing haunting them. The woman is back for revenge, forcing the couple to do some investigation on the woman in order to know how to survive this living nightmare.It's not often that a good horror flick comes out of Thailand, but when they occasionally do they tend to be really good. Shutter is an excellent example of just how great a Thai flick can be. The movie sticks to the same old Asian ghost flick concept where a longhaired girl pops up every now and then for a good scare, BUT this one has got something that most of the other Ju-On and Ring rip-offs doesn't have; it's got a good and well polished script. It doesn't just have a girl popping up every now and then, it also blends the story together with real paranormal activity. It shows us real pictures of ghosts and doesn't have the longhaired girl show in every photo but sometimes there just seems to be like a white reflection on the photo, just like in real ghost photographs.The acting is great and since there are so few characters it's very easy to root for them. I even found myself rooting for the ghost. That's another ingenious thing about this movie. The ghost isn't just a mean bitch, you can really understand why she's doing the things that she's doing and why she so desperately needs revenge.Shutter is without a doubt the scariest Thai horror flick since The Eye. It provides plenty of scares while still being interesting throughout the movie and not feeling like a total rip-off.Shutter is scary, interesting and very creepy and takes off very early in the movie so that we get to be scared through the entire thing.Tun, a 25-year-old photographer, found some lights appearing on his pictures that he had taken with his friends. The lights were in mysterious and different shapes. Some pictures appeared to have someone standing in front of the camera blocking the whole scene, when in reality no such thing happened during the pictures were taken. Tun was skeptical until he enlarged the picture and he was convinced that the light did look like the woman's face. His friends die mysteriously one by one. Then he decides to find out for the history behinds those pictures, which keep haunting him...
