Shutter Island
Contrary to popular belief this is not a scary movie, not really sure it was ever meant to be one. It has its creepy moment, seeing as its set in 1954, on an island in Boston Harbor, on the site of an old civil war fort; that has since then been converted into a mental institution for the criminally insane. This choice of setting lends itself nicely to the true nature of this movie, which is a psychological thriller. A quick synapse of the movie is that two U.S. Marshals are sent to the island to investigate the disappearance of one of the inmates. While on the island the lead Marshal played by DiCaprio, feels like something else is going on that everyone on the island is apart of. He investigates and finds that things are not what they really seem.
Shhhh... Don't give away the ending!
I wish I could give you more on this movie but as it is a psychological thriller with one hell of a twist that still has me wondering, weeks later, telling you too much would totally ruin the movie for you. Either way I highly recommend this movie, and if your like me and try and get everything sublet detail out of a movie, you are going to have to see it twice, because the first time won’t even get you through the skin of this psychological onion.
