Shutter


NOTE: This is not a spoiler.

Yesterday afternoon, Aris and I decided to go to MOA to watch a movie. So I checked Clickthecity for the movie schedule. We were choosing between Nim's Island (one of my must see from this entry) and Shutter. I know I said that I wanted to see Nim's Island but I just can't pass on watching a horror film in the big screen. Plus, our friend Mother Michelle told Aris that we should see it because it's scary. With that, we decided to watch the latter.

Correct me if I'm wrong but I think it's a remake of an original Thai film. I think I'm gonna watch the Thai version too after this. Hehe!

So anyway, within the first 10 or 15 minutes of the movie, there was already the "gulat factor" that I've always dreaded but enjoyed watching. I even heard a girl scream: "Waa! Ayoko na!" Hahaha! I wanted to go find that girl and ask her if she wanted to go watch Nim's Island instead. LOL! But I didn't and stayed. It really wasn't that scary. Well, the "ghost" wasn't scary but the freakin scenes where the background music changes or it suddenly becomes silent is what really makes me jump out of my seat. If only I could mute the audio of the movie. Hahaha!

It's a good thing Aris and I were at the aisle seat so he was the only one who could see me jerk when there was a scary scene. Another thing that made the movie bearable was this group of gay men (sistahs) that were seated at the other end of the aisle. I was really clutching Aris's arm in some scenes where I thought the ghost would appear but I wouldn't feel that scared anymore because one of the "sistahs" would say: "Ayy! Sasabog!" He/She kept saying that whenever it's a scary scene. And when the ghost appears and everyone was screaming, he/she would scream: "Sabi ko sayo pasabog eh." Bwahaha! I guess it's part of their gay lingo. Super funny sya and I'm glad because I was a bit distracted from the scary scenes.


All in all, I think I'm gonna rate the movie a 3.5/5.0. Go watch it if you want a bit of "rush".

P.S. This is the reason why I wasn't able to blog late last night. Still had the aftershock of the movie so I slept early. LOL!

This was a remake from a Thai version. And I watched the Thai version I think a year ago. Tho I haven't seen this version yet, but I can 'almost' guarantee that the Thai version is the bomb. LOVED it!

And you know how remakes are usually never as good as the originals di ba? Just like The Ring or The Grudge and wat not.. hahahaha
