Just like in the 80s when we saw slasher movie after slasher movie, this effort is another copied from Asia and perhaps is one too many.
It's been getting increasingly difficult to tell these Asian horror remakes apart and Shutter is much the same, with audiences surely tired of the format now.

It is the first English-language film for director Masayuki Ochiai, whose career has been primarily within the horror genre.

The result is another ghost story able to conjure up feelings of dread through a single longhaired, poker-faced female apparition.

Newlywed New Yorkers Ben (Joshua Jackson) and Jane Shaw (Rachael Taylor) have travelled to Tokyo, where photographer Ben is investigating a potentially lucrative job opportunity.

While driving on a dark road at night, the couple run over a mysterious woman who seems to appear out of nowhere and can't be found after the accident. Over the next few days, Jane goes sightseeing while Ben works, only to see strange apparitions that also appear on the photos she takes.

After Ben's photos show the same ghostly forms, he confesses that he knows something about the woman they ran over, but it may be too late to stop her trail of terror.

Unfortunately this film does not leave a trail of terror for the audience and it doesn't stretch the boundaries of horror cinema, at all.
It provides a handful of decent shocks and the Tokyo backdrop is impressive. But that is all.
