Shutter (2008) 7/10

Starring : Joshua Jackson, Rachael Taylor, Megumi Okina, David Denman, John Hensley
Director : Masayuki Ochiai
Running Time : 81 mins

Benajmin Shaw (Jackson) and his new bride Jane (Taylor) move to Japan where Benjamin has just been awarded a very well paying photography job, but after they are involved in a car accident they start to see images of the girl they ran over in photographs they have taken, and Jane makes a terrifying discovery about the girl and her history with her husband.

Well, at least it wasn’t long! This was a pretty mediocre thriller masquerading as a horror, with a reasonable though not unobvious twist in the tale. The acting isn’t anything special, but it’s quite well paced and marginally engrossing. Fans of Japanese horror films might enjoy this, though they might also find it irritating
