Shutter: Don't turn your back, don't look away, and whatever you do, don't blink.

Shutter



AHHHHHH

AHHHHHHHHHHHHH

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH





Everything starts when a young couple runs over a mysterious woman in the road, then drives off and leaves her there. Because this always ends well.





The guy, Tun, is a professional photographer, and soon he starts noticing strange things in his pictures -- mysterious lights, unseen faces lurking in the shadows...







His girlfriend explores his darkroom, but she's not the only one there...





You know that thing you do in horror movies, where you squint at the background because you want to see what's there, even though you know you won't like the answer? Yeah. Yeah.







Poor Tun. He's so pretty, even the dead want a piece of that.







The directors actually use fanservice as a horror tool. They distract us from the impending doom with his good looks. You think you're admiring his long silky hair and soulful brown eyes... THEN SOMETHING LEAPS IN THE FRAME.



AN UNSEEN SUPERNATURAL FORCE IS AFTER YOUR BLOOD, AND YOU STILL VENTURE IN EMPTY BATHROOMS ALONE? WHY? WHY WOULD YOU DO THAT??



The best part is when he... runs out of toilet paper. (Gasp!!!) He asks the next stall if they have any...





DUN DUN DUUUUUUUUUN!!!!







Hint: that is not a bird!



Did I mention how pretty Tun is? Cause, yeah. Doom = pretty = doom = ghost.





Another great scene is when he's laying in bed, all alone, and the covers start sliiiiiding off him... ghost girl is a woman after my own heart.







Because no Asian production, horror or otherwise, would be complete without a rain scene.









The scariest thing about this movie isn't the appearance of ghosts. It's the suggestion that the ghosts are already there.





DON'T LOOK BEHIND YOU, BABY.
