Why does no one talk about how mid the writing in Shutter actually is?

Just got out of Shutter and I'm convinced critics are being paid in residuals. Two genuinely good scenes do not make a film. Convince me otherwise.

Hot Take: Shutter's third act ruined what could have been a masterpiece

Honestly, Shutter would be a tight 95-minute movie. Instead we got a bloated runtime padded with B-roll and lingering shots that add nothing.

[Spoilers] Can we discuss that absolutely baffling ending in Shutter?

Look, I wanted to love Shutter. The trailer had me hyped. But sitting through the second hour felt like a homework assignment. The dialogue is exposition stacked on exposition and the score keeps telling me how to feel.

The cinematography in Shutter is doing all the heavy lifting and it shows

Rewatched Shutter last night and noticed even more plot holes than the first time. The motivations don't track at all once you stop and think about act two.
