"Shutter" the 2008 remake of the very creepy and excellent 2004 Thai movie 'Shutter' is such a lame remake it isn't worth wasting your time or money on.

Do yourself a favor view the 2004 original and let this POS stay on the self where it belongs.

2008 Plot Synopsis: A newlywed couple Ben and Jane move to Japan for a promising job opportunity - a fashion shoot in Tokyo. During their trip on a dark forest road they experience a tragic car accident, leading to the death of a young local girl. Upon regaining consciousness, they find no trace of her body. A bit distraught the couple arrives in Tokyo to begin their new life. Meanwhile Ben begins noticing strange white blurs in many of his fashion shoot photographs. Jane believes that the blurs are actually spirit photography of the dead girl who they hit on the road, and that she may be seeking vengeance. Written by Brian Corder

2004 Plot Synopsis: A young photographer Thun and his girlfriend Jane discover mysterious shadows in their photographs after fleeing the sceen of an accident. As they investigate the phenomenon, they find other photographs contain similar supernatural images, that Thun's best friends are being haunted as well, and Jane discovers that her boyfriend has not told her everything. It soon becomes clear that you can not escape your past. Written by Cleon

They even screwed up the ending. In the original I liked how he kept complaining about his neck strain throughout the movie and you find out why at the very end. In the remake they tell you a lot earlier why. Really lame timing.

Watched the BR version last night. It's pretty much the inbred cousin of The Grudge and nothing more. I've seen scarier things in meat.

What I said above is still true... watch the original and skip this one.
