Two US Marshals are sent to Shutter Island in Boston Harbor, where hospital for the criminally insane is located. One of their patients, a murderess called Rachel Solando, has disappeared and is believed to hide somewhere on the island. The hospital staff is unable to locate her and thus brought pair of US Marshals. The storm comes across the island, which makes their job even harder, but that is not the only problem they are facing. One of the marshals, Teddy Daniels, is haunted by the flashbacks from his past - during his service in World War 2 he took part in liberation of a concentration camp, which him scared and also scenes from his former relationship seems to haunt him. The hospital staff, even though they seem friendly, are not fully cooperating with their investigation, which makes Daniels suspicious.
Dark atmosphere of a remote island, combined with typical movie horrors of mental institutions and heavy storm create together a unique and tense tone for the movie. The plot and the setting plus very good cast makes this film a really memorable experience for fans of detective stories, horrors and thrillers.
