      Loyalty is valuable, but it is also true that it is easy to get together and scattered.

      After watching this movie, I feel that in addition to the shocking atmosphere of terror and the warning of ethics and morality, the most controversial thing is the concept of love between men and women.

        Looking at the male protagonist from the perspective of a female ghost is indeed a bit inhumane. The female ghost was single-minded and persistent towards this man, but in the end, she was raped by the two bad friends who were thrown to him by the heartless man. She also took photos...

      a little impetuous

      It is basically a complete remake of the Thai version, even the individual details are the same, but the social relationship of the male protagonist is higher.
         Overall, I feel that the film is a bit impetuous. I just want to deliberately pursue the effect of the Thai version, but I also want to add some American values. , a bit blunt, and some plots that can make people's adrenaline surge are often not so rounded, it feels scary for the sake of horror,
         but this one is barely...

      bug

      At about 35 minutes of the video, Ben was developing photos in the darkroom. At this time, a woman's finger slid across his cheek (he thought it was his wife), but at this time his wife called, so Ben was shocked. Note that when the fingers slid across Ben's face, it was clearly green with long sleeves (almost over the wrist), and when Ben looked back, it was actually Keiko (Keiko was wearing a floral maxi dress with three-quarter sleeves). When his wife heard the wailing on the phone and went...

      Implicit is really not suitable for Europe and the United States

      When I finished watching it at 11:00, I wanted to wash and sleep, and there was no panic left in my head. Implicit is really not suitable for Europe and the United States. Maybe it has something to do with race, but I'm not afraid of looking at foreign ghosts. The ghosts in the past and this ghost, the original story has a strong sense of fate permeating the film, the horror atmosphere of the East makes people frightened, and the old beauty has become a little rational, and the supernatural...

      Like the two heroines, the female ghost and Jane

      At first, I thought it was an ordinary revenge story, a story caused by a car accident. As a result, the further down the development, it leads to a past event in the past.
          The American version of "Ghost Shadow" has added the elements of Japanese ghost films, and combined with the disgusting and bloody elements of American horror films, it can quite affect the nerves.
          Personally, I said that I like the first heroine Jane very much. She belongs to the type of woman who dares to...

    • By Anne 2022-03-27 09:01:21

      I do, is it because I have watched too many ghost movies, and all the plot developments of the whole story are all guessed by me, this is not fun. Eastern ghost movies are too obsessed with karma, and if you watch too much, it will become a routine, or Western ghosts and gods are more interesting and will not have such strong resentment. This film just proves once again: "Poor people must have something to hate". The poster is good, the film is...

      Much worse than the original Thai version.....

    Movie plot

    Newlyweds Ben ( Joshua Jackson ) and Jane ( Rachael Taylor ), both photographers, came to Japan for work. After arriving in Japan, the two of them drove to Tokyo. On the way through a ghostly forest, the car suddenly lost control and hit a girl. On the spot, the girl returned to Xitian with a bloody soul, and the two of them were also knocked unconscious. I don't know how long it took, and when they woke up, they found that the girl...

    Evaluation action

    As a Hollywood remake of Asian horror movies, "Shutter" is a collection of original stories from Thailand, carefully tuned Japanese horror, and professional Hollywood special effects. It seems to be a masterpiece, but the actual effect is worthy A narrow tie with the original Thai version.
    The script polished by screenwriter Luke Dawson has become more "Hollywood", and American audiences may easily swallow the standard story, but the...
