Shutter (II) (2004)
7/10
Slow burn and Effective

This film has... maybe 3 jump scares in it? This means loud music and scary image. However, there are multiple times in which the score is absent or very minimal and there is creepy imagery being put to use. I also had callbacks to other horror films including insidious and other late 2000s films which felt inspired by this movie. Cool to see the potential inspiration for other horror films you grew up with.

This is a solid 7. The way some of the actors (primarily his girlfriend) talked which took me out of the film. This is a cultural thing that I tried to get over while watching it but kept finding myself being sucked out of the film when she talked.

Pretty dumb and a bit ignorant but it is what it is. There is one scene of the film (driving late at night midway through) which felt dated. This is due to the editing and also the sub par acting.

No other complaints, I thoroughly enjoyed this film. I am glad I stuck through with it even though the way the actress talked turned me off of the film.

Solid 7 out of 10 - I recommend watching this film at least once.
