Review of Shutter

Shutter (I) (2008)
1/10
This movie was terrible
28 July 2008
Usually I'm pretty easy-going about horror movies; I can usually watch movies for their entertainment value, despite some of the lower remarks of some people. But this ain't one of them. This movie was boring. I mistakingly bought it partly because the DVD commercial looked interesting and partly because I thought the average IMDb.com rating was 6.4/10, not 4.8/10 (as it stands today). Nowadays, I usually try to avoid movies with a rating less than 6/10 (in most cases).

In any case, this movie was boring and not even remotely scary. There were a few interesting scenes, but most of them were near the end/climax of the movie. Even the dialogue/relationship between Jane and Ben were laughable, though I cannot remember how at the moment. I'm beginning to wonder if I am beginning to block this movie from my memory (but not enough for me to watch it a 2nd time).

To help give you an idea of how bad this was, I liked White Noise and Boogeyman (2005) better than this flick.
