I got the chance to sit down and watch a movie that I have put off for a while now called “Shutter“. In the movie Shutter, a newlywed couple, Ben and Jane go off to Japan while in the dawn of their honeymoon after Ben lands a photography job in Japan. But while driving down a dark road they hit a spirit which look to be in the form of a human being. Later in the movie, the couple started seeing this spirit in every picture they took, eventually doing research finding out what it meant.

It turned out that the husband, Ben had dated the girl, Megumi in the past, but they split up because she became clingy after losing her father. Things began to go downhill, after the spirit attacked a friend named Adam while he photographed a model, then later caused his friend Bruno to commit suicide by jumping off the balcony.
Contemplating on going back to New York, the couple then realized that the spirit had been with them long before they arrived, then they concluded revisiting Megumi’s home. After entering the empty home, they found her rotted body with Potassium Cyanide next to it. With hopes of moving forward and putting the spirit to rest, the couple set up for the body to be cremated.
It turned out that the spirit was not fully rested because Megumi wanted the woman, Jane to see what type of man she had married. And of course, Megumi was attached to Ben already. Megumi’s spirit led Jane to a memory card with photos taken by Ben, showing Adam and Bruno raping Megumi.
It came to light that the boyfriend, Ben photographed her while she was incapacitated with his buddies Adam and Bruno, then after photographing her, Adam and Bruno raped her. In the end, Jane ended up leaving Ben because of everything that took place with Megumi’s death, which drove Ben crazy.
This movie had eerie things happening throughout it. Throughout early parts of it, Ben always felt he had something messing around with his neck. Well, it turned out that the spirit Megumi had been riding his neck, and it left his doctor befuddled because it showed him tipping the scale at nearly 300 pounds.

Have not seen this movie yet.
It is an old movie. I believe it came out over a decade ago, but still worthy of watching. I can tolerate it compared to some of the new things that are out in theater.
It is interesting to watch Japanese horror films because they have a Buddhist morality and punishments that fit those sins, as opposed to the Christian morality we get from American and European films…
Great observation, Alex. And I would not have caught that. I find it hard to watch American movies nowadays because most are brutal. It often leads to me turning my head during the killing because it is so sadistic.
Pretty much all religions have savage undertones, but Buddhism least of all
I will be look for that in some of my other movies now. Since I’m off Monday & Tuesday, I may make it another movie night.
Audition is a good example of this, but it is quite disturbing…
You can do me a huge favor by staying the hell off of my posts. Please! You copied from my post!
Not a bad movie, I think you’ll like it
I’ve watched the Thai version … it’s creepy!!
Nice review !!
Oh cool! I want to watch that version. I have seen the images
so this is the Indonesian version… my gosh, I still scream on exact part where the scary part is shown.
The creepy parts for me was once Megumi started going after Ben, Adam, and Bruno. I think there is a part 2 of this. I will look it up
Or better yet, I guess there is a different version, not a part 2. I will look for the different version.
I know there is an English version of this, but the Indonesian is the best. I have not seen the English though.
Well you wrote a great review, but these types have movie rarely have a good ending lol. Some movies like this one have had a better ending
Well, there was one good thing that happened in the end. Jane left the psychopath husband, after the story came out. And also, Megumi, the spirit got what she wanted, which was to be with Ben, lol. Happy Ending, LaJenna, but in a different form.
hmmmmm so you say lol!!!!
