Shutters, Blinds, Curtains, Islands.

Shutter Island. A brief synopsis; a U.S Marshall, played by Leonardo DiCaprio, goes to an Institute for the criminally insane that is based on Shutter island to try and locate an escaped patient.
The story is based on the novel by Dennis Lehane and is honestly quite a gripping one. The movie strays from the in-your-face kind of horror that most other movies in it's genre tend to do and instead goes for a more subtle approach, slowly adding to the mystery of what is going on.
DiCaprio played the role of the delusional Marshall well and the acting for all the cast was actually quite brilliant. Ben Kingsley was very well suited for his part and I enjoyed watching him play it.
An excellent movie, not quite 9, I give it 8.5/10.
