Thai Thrill
June 29, 2008
Released in the year 2004, and directed by Banjong Pisanthanakun and Parkpoom Wongpoom, Shutter is a real treat to horror movie fans. The film comes up with a very potent theme and explores the idea that not all sins can be absolved. The screenplay is really creepy and the movie is unexpectedly haunting. The use of cameras as a ghost-seeing tool thrills.
The actors do a good job too. Ananda Everingham stars as Tun, a photographer who witnesses a terrible car accident with his girlfriend Jane (Natthaweeranuch Thongmee). While driving, the two hit a woman on a dark road with his car. But instead of stopping to check on the victim’s well being, Tun urges Jane to drive on. Since the incident, something is following them. The movie has a well crafted story and is knitted very well for a horror movie with an unexpected ending.
The film was nominated for the 2005 Golden Kinnaree Award for best film at the Bangkok International Film Festival and has won various awards at smaller festivals around the world. The movie was especially well-received in Thailand, Singapore.
An American remake was released in 2008, directed by Masayuki Ochiai and starring Rachael Taylor and Joshua Jackson. The remake will follow the story of a young couple on their honeymoon in Tokyo, where they soon begin to see ghostly images in their photographs.
Unlike the original, the 2008 remake was received negatively by critics, so only go for the original Thai version not the American one.
