Shutter Island


Shutter Island is a psychological thriller that keeps you guessing till the end. Starring Leonardo DiCaprio as Teddy who suffers from a severe case of PTSD (Post Traumatic Stress Disorder)

Scorsese has done it again…a true genius indeed!! With a right mix of suspense and horror, the movie torments its lead character. A creepy setting; a prison hospital for the criminally insane located on the distant island during the rampant storm definitely kept me on the alert.

A star strutted cast of Kingsley and Von Sydow together with Patricia Clarkson, Emily Mortimer, Ted Levine, etc who play insane inmate characters, brusque guards, malicious nurses and crazy doctors definitely add fuel to the fire!

As his 45th film, Scorsese has created a Masterpiece that messes with your head and is fun at the same time-his best work since “Cape Fear”. I give Martin Scorsese’s “Shutter Island” 4.5/5 stars. And to all you movie goers who haven’t watched this movie yet, prepare to get your minds messed with…IT’S MIND-BOGGLING GOOD!!!!!
