Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaAlthough the original film Shutter (2004) is of Thai origin and is set in Thailand, this film takes inspiration from Japanese culture and is set in Japan instead. This was because director Masayuki Ochiai was more comfortable filming in his home country, rather than flying to America to direct this remake.
- Goofs(at around 17 mins) At one point, Jane says she must call New York, but Ben says it's 3am there, yesterday. This is a mistake. If it was 3am in New York, in Tokyo it would be 4pm in the afternoon on the same day (give or take an hour for differences in daylight savings).
- Alternate versionsAn unrated version was released for the DVD and Blu-ray with 5 extra minutes of footage, clocking in at 90 minutes as opposed to the 85 minute theatrical cut, the changes include:
- Small extensions to scenes already in the theatrical cut.
- A completely new scene where Bruno shows Ben and Jane around in their studio home.
- Another new scene where Ben and Jane explore the basement of their new home.
- The highway scene is extended to show Megumi sliding off the car before she disappears.
- A small scene of Jane traversing the streets of Tokyo.
- The scene with the model Emi is slightly longer.
- A new scene where Ben sees a shape in the distance only for it to turn out to be one of the models instead.
- A shot of Jane following Ritsuo to his room.
- An extension of the meeting between Ben, Jane, and Murase.
- Bruno's death scene is slightly more graphic.
- Ben and Jane return home and embrace after Megumi's funeral.
- The scene where Ben electrocutes himself is longer and more graphic.

Featured review
Tame, lame, and not very scary.
(13%) A largely subtitle free remake of an Asian horror movie made almost entirely for those too lazy to read. The original was a Thai movie, but for some reason this is set in Japan, but really that's the least of its problems. Storywise this is a decent idea and I'm guessing the original perhaps worked out better, but this is largely overly tame, and for a movie not even 90 mins long it feels very plodding at times, and rather directionless. The two leads are dull characters played by dull performances, and there's a cheap TV movie feel, not to mention some very cheap jump scares and seen it all before "spooky" ghost women. Give this a miss and watch something else.
