I must confess that I have not seen the original The Eye, the J-Horror film from 2002 that was written and directed by Danny and Oxide Pang, but I decided to role the dice on the 2008 remake, helmed by another duo, David Moreau and Xavier Palud. I was hesitant for two reasons.

Screamstress Review of “Shutter” The film Shutter stars Joshua Jackson, Rachel Taylor, Megumi Okina and David Denman, and centers on a photographer and his new wife who live in Japan, and their experiences in relation to ghost photography. Shutter is a classic tale of ghostly revenge via the use of spirit photography.

It’s not that Japanese horror, or J-Horror is bad. Hollywood likes it because it’s easy. We like it because it seems different. Sometimes the scares don’t translate well for us who have been spoon fed the likes of Texas Chainsaw Massacre, and Halloween for years.

Horror movies aren’t among my favorites, but horrors in “J-Horror” style (Japanese-horror) can undoubtedly be very appealing to watch. Directed by Eric Valette and produced by Broderick Johnson, Andrew A. Kosove, Scott Kroopf, Jennie Lew Tugend with Lauren C.

Rating: 4 out of 5 stars Showtime’s Masters of Horror series has a great concept: each hour-long episode is directed by a famous (or semi-famous) horror director. The roster of directors is international and impressive.

Everything I talk about turns into a rant or story about how abusive and shitty my ex-husband was. Especially lately, I can’t take two steps without remembering the way he walked, and getting angry about it. The other day, I was wondering how long it takes to recover from a hard blow.
