  For photographer Ben and his new wife Jane, his new assignment--a lucrative fashion shoot in Tokyo--was supposed to be a kind of working honeymoon. With this exotic professional opportunity and the limitless possibilities of a new marriage, Ben and Jane arrive in Japan.

  But as they make their way on a mountain road leading to Mt. Fuji, their new life together comes to, literally, a crashing halt. Their car smashes into a woman standing in the middle of the road, who has materialized out of nowhere.

  Upon regaining consciousness after the accident, Ben and Jane cannot find any trace of the girl Jane believes she hit with the car. Shaken by the accident and by the girl's disappearance, Ben and Jane arrive in Tokyo, where Ben begins his glamorous assignment. Having worked in Japan before and fluent in the language, Ben is comfortable there, and he eagerly reunites with old friends and colleagues. Jane, a newcomer to the city, feels very much like a stranger in a strange land as she makes tentative, unsettling forays through the city.

  Ben, meanwhile, has discovered mysterious white blurs--eerily evocative of a human form--that have materialized on an entire day's work from the expensive photo shoot.

  Jane's concerns escalate as she believes the blurs in Ben's photos are the dead girl from the road, who is now seeking vengeance for them leaving her to die.

  the leading actor tried to rid the spirit (who is sitting on his back) by using high voltage to "electrocute" himself

  the ending scene show the leading actor in a hospital bedroom, and later the same spirit still at his back reflecting on the bedroom glass panel

  the story theme is a bit sad

     I never bother to watch remake from hollywood no matter what show . Cos i don't see any point in supporting it as they are just too full of ego to accept any other non hollywood film as good . And also they like to make the actress to alot of screaming here and there like bimbos . I go for story more not some screaming voices to satisfy my ears . But personally i like peace and really treasure it . So any kpkb show screaming here and there i also won't bother to watch . I remember the original shutter show don't have much screaming .
