Damn February is a pretty stacked month for our beloved genre isn’t it? First we get THE WOLFMAN, now we’re getting SHUTTER ISLAND this Friday and next week we see THE CRAZIES heading our way. Not bad February.
I just finished giving you all an article on THE WOLFMAN and we’ve had our fair share of CRAZIES articles in the past day (HERE and HERE) so why not hit you all with a little diddy about Martin Scorsese’s SHUTTER ISLAND? Well I think I’ll do just that! You see the guys over at Movieweb are giving us all a look at a behind the scenes featurette for the film! This clip ‘takes viewers deep inside The Island.’ Need I say more? Check that shite out by scrolling below!
SHUTTER ISLAND opens this Friday, February 19th and stars Leonardo DiCaprio, Michelle Williams, Mark Ruffalo, Jackie Earle Haley, Max von Sydow, Ben Kingsley and Emily Mortimer (below).
It’s 1954, and up-and-coming U.S. marshal Teddy Daniels is assigned to investigate the disappearance of a patient from Boston’s Shutter Island Ashecliffe Hospital. He’s been pushing for an assignment on the island for personal reasons, but before long he wonders whether he hasn’t been brought there as part of a twisted plot by hospital doctors whose radical treatments range from unethical to illegal to downright sinister. Teddy’s shrewd investigating skills soon provide a promising lead, but the hospital refuses him access to records he suspects would break the case wide open. As a hurricane cuts off communication with the mainland, more dangerous criminals “escape” in the confusion, and the puzzling, improbable clues multiply, Teddy begins to doubt everything – his memory, his partner, even his own sanity.
