I remember watching Shutter for the first time with Medulla. Along with the creepy studio scene and a certain u-know-what coming out from the sink, the last ten minutes of the film featuring that infamous plot-twist certainly sent chills down my spine. At the same time Shutter set a high standard (for me, anyway) where scary movies are concerned. So when Medulla and I decided to check out the English/American remake of the same movie, both our expectations were on a high after seeing what seemed like a promising trailer.
Note: Spoiler alert!! Do not read on if you haven't seen this movie/intend to catch this movie.
Man, was that one scary shit of a movie!
And I was so glad Medulla was there to remind me of the scary scenes. I know what you're thinking here...if she has already seen the original movie, then surely she'd remember. Well that was two years ago. Besides our brain sometimes tend to remember certain scenes/parts, like the first time we meet the 'girl' in the middle of almost nowhere, so one could hardly blame me for being a wee bit slow in recalling those scenes which would either make you jump from your seat or close your eyes/ears..or in my case, hide behind my bag!
My only gripe about the movie..besides the absence of any translation for the Japanese conversations, the absence of THAT infamous studio scene and the walking upside-down scene..which both Medulla and I were guessing had something to do with the Americans not understanding the psychological suspense of these particular scenes. Shame..otherwise the movie still kicked some ass.
