Paul S @PManRager Feb 8 It's not a bad movie, but I had trouble keeping my attention on it at times. There were a lot of terrifying moments, and the concept behind the movie was incredible, but I wasn't really captivated by what was going on. Despite its shortcomings, this was a really unique and well-acted horror movie. I definitely recommend it for horror, thriller, and drama fans!

Shutter, remake de un film tailandés que sí dejó huella en su día, cae precisamente en eso: una sucesión de sustos previsibles, personajes sin alma y una atmósfera que no llega a despegar. Todo resulta demasiado mecánico. La premisa, al menos sobre el papel, tenía potencial. Un fotógrafo y su pareja descubren presencias fantasmales en sus fotos tras un accidente. Pero lo que podría haber sido una historia inquietante sobre culpa, trauma y fantasmas (en todos los sentidos), se queda en una repetición de clichés del J-horror, con apariciones que ya hemos visto mil veces y giros que no sorprenden a nadie. Hay que reconocerle cierta solvencia técnica, y Rachael Taylor logra mantener algo de dignidad en medio del despropósito. Pero ni eso salva una película que nunca encuentra su propio ritmo, ni ofrece un verdadero sentido del terror. El desarrollo es torpe, la tensión apenas se construye, y el clímax llega tan tarde (y tan mal resuelto) que uno ya ha desconectado por completo. Shutter no es terrible. Simplemente no aporta nada. En un género donde el espectador ya está curado de espanto, ofrecer solo un puñado de sustos reciclados y una historia sin alma no es suficiente. Se puede ver, sí, pero difícilmente se recuerda. Y lo peor que le puede pasar a una película de terror es que te deje indiferente. (ENGLISH) Sometimes the problem isn’t that a movie is badly made — it’s that you simply don’t care about what it’s telling you. Shutter, a remake of a Thai film that did leave a mark in its time, falls squarely into that category: a string of predictable scares, lifeless characters, and an atmosphere that never quite takes off. Everything feels too mechanical. The premise, at least on paper, had potential. A photographer and his partner begin to see ghostly figures in their photos after an accident. But what could have been a chilling story about guilt, trauma, and ghosts (in every sense) ends up being just another rehash of J-horror clichés, with apparitions we’ve seen a thousand times and twists that fool no one. It must be said that the technical side is serviceable, and Rachael Taylor manages to preserve some dignity amid the mess. But even that can’t save a film that never finds its own rhythm, nor delivers any real sense of fear. The buildup is clumsy, tension barely exists, and the climax comes so late (and so poorly resolved) that by then, you've completely checked out. Shutter isn’t terrible. It simply adds nothing new. In a genre where audiences have seen it all, offering just recycled scares and a soulless story isn’t enough. It’s watchable, sure — but forgettable. And the worst thing that can happen to a horror film is to leave you indifferent. See more Read all reviews
