Dumb-Down Version of the Thai Original — 1 year ago
“Shutter” is a remake of a Thai horror film that concerns a couple who start seeing the ghostly image of a young woman. My friend told me that the American version was better than the original. After watching the movie, I have to disagree. As usual, it was dumb-down significantly compared to the Thai version. The story was rearranged, so it was more A-B-C. It’s like they couldn’t make it jump here or there because it was going to confuse the American audience or something. It wasn’t as bad as other remakes, but it could have been better.
