Shutter

SHUTTER (2004) - Aug. 26, 2006
A seriously creepy movie about a photographer and his girlfriend who run over a girl on the street and then drive off. Strange things start happening, including a ghostly figure popping up in the photographer's photos. This was a really effective horror film; it wastes no time getting things started, and manages to maintain a fairly tense atmosphere for pretty much the entire movie. If I had one complaint about the film it is that, sort of like the Grudge, it's fairly light on plot, and basically just consists of one scary set-piece after another. But it's well directed and quite scary, so that's a minor complaint. ***1/2
