The implausible escape of a brilliant murderess brings U.S. Marshal Teddy Daniels (Leonardo DiCaprio) and his new partner (Mark Ruffalo) to Ashecliffe Hospital, a fortress-like insane asylum located on a remote, windswept island. The woman appears to have vanished from a locked room, and there are hints of terrible deeds committed within the hospital walls. As the investigation deepens, Teddy realizes he will have to confront his own dark fears if he hopes to make it off the island alive.
“Shutter Island offers sumptuous, enthralling, shivery gothic filmmaking with a hardboiled heart and a sly line in asylum humour.”
—Kim Newman, Empire Magazine
Based on a novel by Dennis Lehane, Scorsese’s psychological thriller Shutter Island (2010) premiered out of competition at the 2010 Berlin Film Festival and was selected by the National Board of Review as one of the top ten films of 2010.
