Of Camera Spooks

Its 6am now, and I am not asleep.

I just watched Shutter, that Thai ghost movie and I must say it is a pretty good ghost flick. For those of us that studied Cinematography in college, you will love this film as it is chock full of it without being overwhelming. Suck eggs Malaysian Film Directors.

Storyline isn't anything ALL that new, but its a pleasant change. A bit of the usual ghoulie action but nothing overly cheesy. Well at least I wasn't sniggering throughout the entire flick. I am NOT the person you would want to go watch a ghost movie with as I find everything funny. I found the GRUDGE hilarious.

What sort of Ghost movie kills EVERYONE in the movie and leaves the ghost still at large. VERY unsatisfying. I'm still an old school fan of the out-moded "Happy Ending" where the Hero/Heroine should escape from the haunted hospital/holyground/jungle/house/asylum and burn it to kingdom come. You don't JUST go kill of ALL THE CAST and expect people to think, WOW! Thats very avant garde!.. >.<

Well at least it didn't have one of those, OH, TURNS OUT YOU'RE DEAD AND YOU DON'T KNOW IT! ghost endings. I give Shutter a 7 penguins ratings. Which is pretty good! Everyone should go watch it.



BTW I still have EXORCIST : The beginning for anyone interested in watching it with me.
