From previews, Shutter Island looks like a horror movie. Scary asylum, ghosts, freaky doctors. But the film is actually an interesting and intense psychological thriller. It's quite an interesting film that will keep the viewer engrossed from beginning to an end. Unfortunately, we can't help but wonder was this really directed by Martin Scorsese? We have all seen better Scorsese films out there. Remember the Departed? Don't get this review wrong, this was an outstanding piece of film, but it doesn't live up to Scorsese's other films.
The movie takes place in an asylum where two marshalls are investigating the disappearance of a psychotic inmate. The film was made in a way to make the audience feel as if they're also in a psychiatric ward. The effects were phenomenal, and we can't help but think that we might be developing schizophrenia as well.
If you would like to become psychotic for two hours, then this movie is for you.
4/5 stars.
