Loved the ending, it was a just and much deserved fate.


***SPOILERS***


I found it so appropriate that this man is now destined to have the tormented spirit of this poor girl literaly on his back for the rest of his life. The way he and those other two men treated her was terrible and each of them got what was coming to them.

Very satisfying ending I thought.

If you expect the unexpected doesn't the unexpected then become the expected?

Yeah i thought so too.

Its a shame the rest of the film was boring and lacklustre though.

I disagree, while the treatment she received was terrible, I didn't think they deserved what she did to them.

Yea I was expecting another cheesy horror film ending but I really liked this one. It made me bump up my vote to a 7.

*SPOILERS*

The final scenes are far and away the best scenes in the movie. Both the twist ending and finding out Ben is destined to carry around Megumi's ghost for the rest of his life were pretty powerful scenes.

Although I find both The Grudge and The Ring superior films to Shutter, for me Shutter has the best ending of the 3 films...

When the camera falls to the ground and takes a picture, it shows Ben that he has been carrying the ghost of Megumi all along. He electicutes himself trying to "kill" Megumi's ghost, or to get it to leave him alone. It doesn't succeed

ok thanks..thats what i thout but was not completely sure

"Some people just wanna watch the world burn."

I found the ending to be a little cliche ...

Seems that so many horror movies these days are going down the whole "good guy turns bad" route. I saw it coming.

Though, the fact I saw it coming never worried me, since I wasn't overly enjoying the movie. It would figure in the "ok" group for mine.

If you saw the original, you wouldn't see the twist coming.

I liked the fact that the ghost wasn't trying to warn the wife so much as trying to get rid of her. The ghost wanted Ben all to herself despite what he had done...and would remain with him regardless. That I found was a slightly different end to what I would have expected.

reply

I am TIRED of people saying on here that what happened to Megumi was terrible, oh so terrible, but the guys did not deserve what they got. Would castration be better?! Anyone who has raped someone is lucky that they get prison and not death! LUCKY!

reply

I actually feel for him...he must have been so desperate to allow such a travesty...It wasn't like he was some player, he truly was with her, met her family opened himself into her world...And like he said he tried to fall in love, but sometimes it just isn't there and you don't find that kind of stuff out until later unfortunately...people get hurt but its not his fault she was obsessive and clingy to the point of insanity...in America she would have been arrested for behaving like that, its not his fault also that her culture makes it dis-ownment for dating outside there race...xenophobia is a bitch, many say that if japan hadn't been so xenophobic as a society they would have conquered the world because there navy was superior to that of even Great Britain...sorry to get off topic but i just feel for the guy, no he shouldn't have allowed the rape to happen but when desperate and dealing with a stalker, i totally can understand that blackmail course that he took...

reply

I'm not so sure he wasn't a player. His friends clearly had a player mentality when it came to women, and I thought it was strange from the very start that he mentioned that she had never been in a serious relationship. I think he was kind of messing around, was always the slightly nicer guy of the three and was willing to be in a committed relationship, but not that serious. When their relationship estranged her from her family, and the death of her father caused her to need to lean on him, it was suddenly too much, it wasn't easy, and he dumped her. It's not his fault that her culture made her more dependent on him, but he was aware of much of it and didn't seem to care.
