Going back and adding (good/bad) movies I watched, just to be complete. I'll comment on them later if I feel like it. For now, let's just say that if you're running from a ghost that has resulted in three of your closest friends leaping from high places, how about not running to the rooftop?
On second thought, I'm pretty sure I won't make any more comments about this movie. (Most) horror movies are almost impossible to discuss since their only purpose is to provide some sort of visceral reaction towards the shocking images on screen. In that sense, Shutter had its moments but it's really nothing to talk about. My mind (nervously) processes the images quick enough that even while I'm spooked, I'm laughing at how ridiculous the image is on screen because, oh golly, how crazy and creepy is it that an undead ghoul is stealing my blankets from the foot of the bed!?
Still, it was fun. Horror films are good once in a while, and foreign ones are definitely better than the hack and slash films we're used to.
