This Tokyo-set film about haunted photographs seems like a technological regression after haunted-computer effort Pulse and haunted-videotape frightener The Ring — both of which were, like Shutter, adapted from Asian horror movies. Will the next terror-minded remake involve a possessed telegraph machine or a grudge-minded ox and cart? Neither option could be any lamer than the shock-free Shutter, in which Joshua Jackson and Rachael Taylor play newlyweds whose photos start to feature the image of a woman they may — or may not! — have killed with their car.
