100 Things I learned from Shutter


Frankly I'm surprised this hasn't been started before...

1.) Never wrong your Japanese girlfriend

2.) You're likely to get a response when you walk around the streets of Tokyo asking questions in English

3.) Never allow a bug-infested, decaying ghost to stick her tongue down your throat

4.) When a ghost brushes her hair, it makes a loud noise that you'll be able to hear in the next room

5.) When being attacked by a ghost, the best thing to do is verbally provoke it

6.) If you're a ghost who wants something to be discovered, leaving clues that lead to a painting on a wall in front of the room that thing is in will get better results than leaving clues that lead to the actual door

7.) Always hide damning photographic evidence in an easily accessible suitcase

8.) Upon discovering said evidence, waiting to confront the man who likely raped a woman(or at least did nothing to stop it) is a good plan

9.) Because a girlfriend is clingy, it totally warrants drugging and raping her. At least that way she'll commit suicide and be out of your hair for good

10.) If your neck is a bit sore, you ought to have someone check it out; it's likely the spirit of a girl that you've wronged

So there's my 2 cents... I hope you guys have some to add

58. The inside of the doors on Japanese cremation furnaces are nice, shiny, new looking stainless steel despite being constantly exposed to wood and human flesh being incinerated at 1400 to 1800 degrees Fahrenheit.

I don't love her.. She kicked me in the face!!

59. When your wife is shouting at a ghost, it's ok for your wife to refer to you as the actor who's playing you, and use his name instead of yours. The ghost will know who's name you really meant!

60. When looking at the photos you took of yourself and your wife the morning after the accident: neither one of you notice that the images are actually mirrored, and you're actually standing on the opposite side of eachother than you actually were!

61. Remakes are 9 times out of 10 usually worse than the originals

I had to kill Bob Morton because he made a mistake. Now it's time to erase that mistake

The hair brushing one is hilarious. Still laughing.

62. If you run down a girl, crash into a tree and are concussed after it, there's no need to go the hospital. Just continue on to your honeymoon log cabin and pray that enough sex will save you from a possible brain haemorrhage.
63. If you want to ruin a woman's reputation, drug her and take suggestive pictures of her and your photography friends. Luckily, they're white men, so no one will think any less of them when you threaten her with showing people the pictures afterwards.

Always enjoy these threads!

64. Drugging a woman, having her raped by your 2 friends and taking pictures of them is obviously the best way to make a crazy stalking girl back off from you!

65. It is quite unthinkable that you'll get arrested for this assault in Japan. The woman in question will usually just kill herself instead of going to the police.

66. Ofcourse, why wouldn't she kill herself? She knows she'll come back as a vengeful ghost that can obviously do way more harm to you and your friends being dead than alive!

67. It is very easy to just forget that this thing ever happened. Apparently moving back to America when having lived in Japan gives you a selective memory.

68. Just never move to Japan as an American, obviously you'll get haunted by some crazy ass Japanese ghost woman! (also see The Grudge)

69. There's lots of crazy ass vengeful Japanese ghost ladies wandering around in Japan! (also see The Grudge, Ju-On & Ringu)

Not sure where the count is for 100- BUT!

#70 If you ever find yourself a ghost, one of the best ways to start your ghost career is to walk out onto a dark lonely forrested road in the middle of the night wearing your ghostly outfit and get ran over by a car. Engage ghost revenge!

#71 remember to buy in vegetarian meatflies for scenes with corpses with no meat on them.

#72 hypnotise your viewers so they don't recall the rip-off scenes/ideas from other Japanese horror films - Ju-On, Ring, Spiral etc...

#73 that cremating long-dead corpses of wronged girlfriends resolves nothing.

#74 that rose petals arranged as a heart will always make your wife forget how bad a boy you've been.

#75 if a ghost wants to show you where the incriminating evidence is, it will always take the least obvious route (through the picture on the wall, as recorded on a series on photos, which you have to flick through to realise).

#76 that high-voltage electric shocks only make ghosts cling on harder.

#77 that ghosts are the opposite to vampires - they can't normally be seen at all, except in mirrors or through a lens.

#78 never to watch it again...!


...it's just another dumb film, get over it.

#79: When taking photographs, make sure you take at least 10 frames per second and get them all developed so you can later use it as a flip book if needed to trace a ghost.
