| Shutter (2008) Starring:
Joshua Jackson, Rachael Taylor, David Denman, James Kyson Lee, John
Hensley Director: Masayuki Ochiai Rating: PG-13 Category: Horror / Thriller Studio: 20th Century Fox |
Opens March 21
The Pitch: Jackson and Taylor play a couple who somehow stumble into the world of "spirit photography," in which glimpses of (sometimes malevolent) residents of the afterlife are captured on film. People scream, people die, and -- since this is a J-Horror flick -- freaky pale women and kids are no doubt seen.
The Buzz: This genre is deader than any of its onscreen victims, but new movies still keep coming. It's like the studios dumped a bunch of these in a vault back in 2002, and they're just now getting around to emptying it.
Trailer Highlight: The part where it says "from executive producers of 'The Grudge.'" Thanks for the warning, amigos!
Bottom Line: This will not be a theatrical hit. It will not find a new audience on DVD. You can officially pretend it was never made. (This goes double for the cast and crew.)
