Preview: Shutter (2008)


Poster: C+

Review:

The style of poster that consists of several images has almost become cliche but considering the plot of this film, it is perfectly fitting.

Trailer: C

Review:

Highlighting the names of several modern horror producers does little to make the film seem more appealing. It looks like it may be a ghost story wrapped into a gross-out horror film, which would be a disservice to the concept.

Oscar Prospects:

The horror genre is woefully under-represented. Not even art horror films like The Orphanage can earn consideration, so schlock like this isn't likely to either.

Release Date:

March 21, 2008

Synopsis Review:

I have not seen this film.
