Surprisingly good and scary

I came across this movie on cable at random and I admit I thought 'Oh no, another B grade piece of trash'. I couldn't have been more wrong. Shutter purports to be a psychological thriller, and indeed, that is what it is. It's been a while since a movie has had me gripped to my seat, feeling the fear as I wait for the next brutal plot point. Sure, it's derivative and the narrative can be (in parts) somewhat predictable, but oh my, what a ride it turned out to be. The lead actor bad guy is wonderful and fleshes out a three dimension representation of a psychopath who has many layers. All the other actors do a fine job, but he is the stand out.

score 9/10
