Shutter Island is a psychological thriller, starring Leonardo De Caprio as Teddy Daniels, that attacks our fears on an entire new level.
The overall dark tone and bleak state of mind we are in builds and builds, never letting go through out the movies entirety.
The film is thrilling, captivating, and most importantly, extremely entertaining.
Some have complained that they are dissatisfied with the ending and saw it coming from miles away.
Yes, you may think you know where it is going, that you anticipated the right turn when in arrived, but no one will be expecting the sudden left turn it makes in the films conclusion.
While Shutter Island was made by a true master of the film trade, one thing you will find unpleasantly delightful, is the director’s ability to genuinely creep you out in several terrifying scenes.
The film doesn’t rely on loud bags in the silence (although a few do occur, and will make you jump) but more on dark imagery and even darker dialogue that never lets up and brings the tension to a painfully disturbing level.
