Shutter (I) (2008)
1/10
Watch the original

Warning: Spoilers
What really pains me is this movie does absolutely no justice to the original version. Watch the original Thai version. It is MUCH better in terms of plot, pace, suspense and horror. Instead of relying on the cheap, predictable *suspenseful music-BANG* Hollywood ploys very evident in this version, the original Thai version is very well built up, takes its time to set the mood and let the suspense and horror just seep in, and they also manage to throw in a bit of black humour as well (the public toilet visit late at night - classic). The background and development of characters in the original is MUCH better, and more plausible (with a more plausible explanation for why she turns up in photos - not this "spirit photography" crap), not to mention the acting is infinitely superior in the original.

Hollywood fails once again. Skip this stupid knock-off and just go straight to the original.
