Shutter is particularly excellent, even though it includes some of Asian cinema's cliches (hair, jerky girls sneaking about), it manages to be genuinely terrifying especially through its impressive sound design.

Also, you can actually keep up with which character is which and don't have to be a shaolin monk taoist zen-master of the floating dragon to understand everything at the end, which wraps up quite nicely.

I liked both of these very much. I bought Shutter because I couldn't find it to rent anywhere, and it was a good buy that I won't regret. I rented Spider Forest, and it is now on my to-buy list. I'd recommend both.

The only problem i had with shutter is how quickly the ending wrapped up. Then again a lot of asian movies have that problem. If i was to rate it out of 10 i would give it an 8. Definitely a buyer.

Spider Forest is great as well. I would pick this one up before shutter. Its one of the best asian mind benders ive seen. 9 out of 10.
