Shutter

THE critically acclaimed 2004 Thai shocker Shutter is butchered in this pale imitation that falls far short of the impressive original.

Watch the trailer here

This American remake, directed by Japan's Masayuki Ochiai, starring Transformers' Rachael Taylor and Dawson's Creek's Joshua Jackson, is not good.

It reworks the Thai version by following a young couple on their honeymoon in Tokyo who begin to see disturbing, ghostly images in their photographs after a road accident.

Terrified the manifestations could be connected, they decide to investigate the mystery but discover that some stones are better left unturned.

Ben (Jackson) and Jane (Taylor) head for Tokyo, where the groom has secured work as a photographer.

As part of their honeymoon, they decide to leave a few days early and rent a cabin.

On the way there, a girl walks into the road and Jane swerves to avoid her but the car crashes into a tree, knocking them out.

When she comes to, Jane realises she might have hit the girl and rushes out of the vehicle but there is no one there and no trace of an accident.

The police are called but they too draw a blank.

Jane is shaken by the incident, and Ben's neck begins to bother him but they begin to enjoy their honeymoon and take pictures to record it.

But when they are developed the photos contain a mysterious light and trouble is not far away...
