“Shutter” is a suspenseful and atmospheric horror film that effectively blends elements of psychological and supernatural horror. Director creates a palpable sense of dread throughout the film, using eerie sound design and chilling visuals to build tension.

The performances by and are strong, and the chemistry between the two leads helps to ground the film’s more fantastical elements. The film also explores themes of guilt and the consequences of one’s actions, adding depth to the horror elements.
