BD Review: Two Extremely Positive Looks at ‘Shutter Island’

Published

on

It’s finally here! Marton Scorsese’s Shutter Island is now in theaters everywhere and I’ll be damned if any of you are disappointed. Not only did I love the Leonardo DiCaprio psychological thriller, but so did David Harley and John Marrone. “Shutter Island might not ever be considered “classic” Scorsese but it’s a damn fine example of a master hard at work. It’s a fantastic homage to Val Lewton B-movies and an experience that’s worth having a second time at the least. If you can appreciate the nightmarish, gothic charms of the classic horror films of yesteryear, you will no doubt be entranced by the mystery surrounding Shutter Island and its inhabitants.” Click the title above for David’s full review or take a gander at John Marrone’s review for another opinion. THEN check back here after you have had a chance to see the film and write your own review to tell all of Bloody Disgusting what YOU thought (because in the end it’s your opinion that matters).

Just two months after his daughter Ishana Night Shyamalan debuts on the big screen with horror movie The Watchers, M. Night Shyamalan is back with his new thriller Trap.

M. Night Shyamalan’s new thriller for Warner Bros. – the sixteenth movie in his Oscar-nominated career thus far – is headed to movie theaters nationwide on August 9, 2024.

Watch the official trailer below to begin a twisted new mystery-box experience, which features performances by rising music star Saleka Shyamalan as fictional pop star Lady Raven.

In the upcoming thriller starring Josh Hartnett, “A father and teen daughter attend a pop concert, where they realize they’re at the center of a dark and sinister event.”

As the official trailer for Trap reveals, the pop concert is actually an elaborate trap designed to catch The Butcher, a sadistic serial killer who has been evading authorities.

Hartnett had recently described the mysterious film as “very bizarre” and “very dark.”

According to IMDb, the cast for Trap also includes Hayley Mills, Marnie McPhail, Vanessa Smythe, Saleka Shyamalan, Scott Ian MacDougall, Kristi Woods, and Cali Lorella.

Trap is the first film Shyamalan has made under his new deal with Warner Bros., which has been described as a “multi-year first-look directing and producing agreement.”

The film is produced by Ashwin Rajan, Marc Bienstock and M. Night Shyamalan.

The executive producer is Steven Schneider.
