Shutter (2004)
Good horror movie
Well, I watched this movie for a college course I'm taking. I must say it's still making me shiver. If you're going to watch the DVD, be sure to turn the lights off, turn the volume up and get ready for an uncomfortable ride.
Shutter is a movie that has a decent storyline. You get to find out whats happening and why one step at a time. It contains its clichés, but I took them for granted.
All because that's not what's most important in this genre. It's to creep you every step of the way, and Shutter does an excellent job in just that. The fragments of the white ghost in the mirror, on the photographs and its reflections in the window.. It still gives me the chills...
A must see! Be sure to keep an open mind... Accept the fact your going to be scared as **** and keep your eyes open at all times. Enjoy.
Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde (2008)
Superficial Jekyll and Hyde
Although I obviously know the concept of Jekyll and Hyde, this is the first full film I ever saw on the subject. The movie was decent to watch, but I have the feeling it's a bit superficial. Never was I actually scared, shocked or thrilled. It was all too normal for my taste.
Another negative side to the film is its ending. I guess a minimum of 90% of the viewers will be able to guess the ending after seeing the prison interview where the lawyer gives Jekyll the syringe.
Despite this negative critique, the movie also has its up side. The film's mildly entertaining.
All in all decent cinematography, quite superficial narrative, reasonable acting. It's 'watcheable' just don't expect too much of it.
