    Storyline

    • Trivia
      Although 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).
    • Quotes

      Ben: I'm not your fucking father!

    • Alternate versions
      An 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.

    Dull, but worth a handful of stars

    As mentioned else where, this is a remake and has been done before and we have all seen it at least a few times before. Yes they are absolutely right. But the amount of 1 star reviews is undeserving.

    This film has the slow methodical pace of an Eastern film but (as usual) loses a lot of the atmosphere when transfered to Hollywood.

    Yes it is a bit weird they take photos of EVERYTHING and the sting in the plots tail isn't really that venomous. But Joshua Jackson (aks Pacey from Dawson's) does OK and the leading lady is pretty and does solid work and I did have the hairs on my arms standing to attention a number of times and it did make me jump.

    Nothing special but much preferable to having teeth pulled.
