Review


Teddy is a US Marshal assigned to investigate the disappearance of a patient from Shutter Island Ashecliffe Hospital set in the 1950's. As his investigation progresses suspicions and doubt arises; was he brought to the island as part of the hospitals sinister experimental treatments? The eerie images of dead children and tortured souls are just enough to give you the chills without freaking you out. A slew of questions run through your mind while you watch and attempt to solve the mystery of Shutter Island. The twist at the end was executed exceptionally well as I left the movie saying "wow, they got me."
