Critics on Rotten Tomatoes
Top critics, in their words
With Shutter, that nerve-tingling soundtrack gets heavy use almost from the beginning of the movie. It becomes tiresome.
Shutter is seriously short on shudders.
At some point in Shutter you will probably lose count, along with your patience, but the film will keep right on going.
Though a presentation of 20th Century Fox, Shutter has the look and feel of a proper J-horror film.
