Really frightening. The mystery is intriguing, until half way through I figured out the ending. But I still found it creepy and entertaining. I love anything with Mark Ruffalo.

I hope this will play OK in a stand-alone DVD player. In a computer, watching it is unendurable owing to artifacts of jerky playback and pixillation, perhaps because of "advanced" copy protection. I'm trying to watch it not rip it, so this…

I love a good psychological thriller with plot twists. It reminds me very much of Das Cabinet des Dr. Caligari, a 1920 German silent film, which I had seen just a couple of months prior to watching this movie. Of course this one has much…

The first time I watched Shutter Island was when it released in theaters, and I think it was the first movie I watched following Inception. I was left underwhelmed by it initially, as the two movies share a similar tone and plotline.…
This was an interesting and twisted film about that leaves one double guessing one's own opinions and assumptions. It starts off about a missing woman whose disappearance is being investigated, and ends with the investigator being mad and…

Scorsese gets Leonardo di Caprio to play a 1940's film noir detective involved in an implausibly convoluted plot. Even if you don't completely comprehend, you enjoy the journey. OK so I am admitting that this film was beyond my pay level.…

It would be more believable if they were reporters or medical students. Federal agents would not have put up with such treatment; they would have taken over the island from the get go.
This seems to be a current plot trend (Sorry! Spoiler Alert!). You're following the protagonist along (from their POV) but later you discover this is all the protagonist's delusion who you find out (in the end) is schizophrenic. …

I'm kind of torn on this one. On one hand, I was angry about the ultimate plot direction, but that last line makes it almost kind of brilliant. I had mixed feelings on DiCaprio's performance, but he isn't awful here, just a few awkward…

Took the bait and watched this on Netflix before it was removed. Watched this in the cinema back in March 2010 when it was playing. After re-watching this again, it's almost felt like a new movie, but its way too convoluted and…

Movie was great, but for many confusing....so, I recommend reading the book first, and then watching the movie. Shutter Island by Dennis Lehane and you are not going to miss a thing!

Just read all the other comments left here, and they seem to run from absolutely dreadful to fantastic! Actually, this is not my usual kind of movie, but I enjoyed it more than I thought I would ... and the ending DID surprise me! I…
