Many of the scares are of the 'ju-on' and 'ringu' variety, but they are reasonably well done, so I can't complain too much. This film was heavily inspired by those Japanese horror films, but I think its better than most of the Japanese Ringu copycats. The film is nicely produced and not a visibly low budget film, good acting, cinematography, editing, etc. I understand this movie had an american remake, I haven't seen it, but I can't see how the original would be improved. Although it isn't a huge deal, I think Shutter is a very competent horror film and definitely worth a watch for fans of the genre.

I like this movie. I remember being surprised and shocked at the final twist. But do pass on the American remake. It's not worth the time. I think The Ring is the only Asian horror remake that is good.
