PoC's Halloween: Shutter Island

Alright guys, it's October. And you know what that means: scary movies. Now, I'm not one for paranormal films, but I'll definitely do thrillers. So these reviews aren't really gonna be too long, but hopefully you'll check some of them out. First off, "Shutter Island."

S  H  U  T  T  E  R     I  S  L  A  N  D

                  Leonardo DiCaprio is Edward Daniels, a Federal Marshal in 1954 on his way to a mental asylum for the criminally insane. He has been assigned a new partner: Chuck Aule. Their case is to find a missing patient. This patient's name is Rachel. She just kind of disappeared from her cell, and no one saw her leave. 

                       Daniels and Chuck go to her cell, and Daniels finds a sheet of paper that reads: "Rule of 4, Who is 67?" Later, Daniels and Chuck read through the files of all of the patients and find that there are 66 patients. So what is being implied is that there is a 67th patient, even though there is no such patient. 

                        Daniels then interrogates all of the patients and with each one of them, asks if they know an Andrew Laeddis. Most of them deny it, or cringe and cower at the name. So while Daniels is looking for Rachel and Laeddis, he begins having migraines. He also has nightmares, and they repeat every night, almost all of them the exact same. 

                        But in the end... nothing is as it seemed.

Andrew Laeddis...?

Ratings:

Family Friendliness- 4/10 Any child under 13, this kid is a big NO. There are a lot of disturbing images with blood. Also, there's a few creepy guys like the one above.

Story-line- 9/10 This plot is phenomenal. It absolutely messes with your head, and if you've seen Inception, you know how much that screws with you. This movie is Inception level and will leave you absolutely mind-blown at the end. You have been warned.

Thriller Level- 7/10 It's not exactly the kind of movie to give you jump scares, but it's definitely terrifying. I am no fan of anything paranormal, so I am very prone to being freaked out, and this movie makes the list. This would definitely go above "The Sixth Sense" (review on sidebar).

Overall- 8/10 The actual rating would have come out to be a 7, but this movie was just so good. I mean, I was not for a moment bored, I was constantly thinking, and Leonardo DiCaprio delivered a phenomenal performance. Mark Ruffalo and Ben Kingsley were also primary characters, which definitely boosts the rating because they both did amazing. Overall, I highly recommend this movie to anyone not wanting to go see the new Ouija: Origin of Evil, but would like to stay in the Halloween and freaky spirit.
