Re: Anyone seen Shutter Island?

  • eh, just okay. kind of predictable.

  • That's funny -- I'm watching it right now.  PP is right -- there are some very disturbing images.  If I'd known what to expect I wouldn't have watched it.  I think I'm going to be sick.

    Wow it's that bad.... Now I'm having second thoughts. It arrived today via Netflix and I'm sure DH is going to want to watch it tonight. I might just give in and watch it with him.

    Thanks girls!

  • Just finished it.  You might be ok -- I've become super sensitive about any images/stories/anything involving sick, hurt, or dying children since having a baby, whether fiction or real.  If you decide to watch it, let me know what you think.

    I thought the opposite- I didn't find it predictable at all!  You can check out some online websites that can tell you all the scary parts so you know what to expect (that's what I do since I'm uber-sensitive about violence). But I really liked it. It kinda confuses you and then ends differently than you'd expect.

    We rented it a few weeks ago and I'm actually considering purchasing it now. And I don't do that for a lot. 

    So let us know if you do watch it and what you think!!!

    I have no idea what this movie is about but I heard from my BIL that it was really good.  If it's scary I can take it, since I love scary movies. I'm not really a big fan of gruesome type movies where there's gruesome killing or hard core violence but I'm willing to watch it :)

     

  • Maybe Im just insensitive but I didnt find it that "disturbing" at all. Although, Ive noticed I feel this way about several movies that other people on here find disturbing...so its probably just me, lol.

    I'm generally not really sensitive about that kind of stuff and can really just get into the story - but I was very bothered by that movie and kinda wished somebody had warned me.  Neither DH or I had any idea - and we were both pretty freaked out and upset about it.  Technically though - I thought it was a great movie - but just really disturbing subject matter.

  • I was unimpressed and also found it fairly predictable. I had heard heat things about it and had high hopes but both DH and I were disappointed. I also didn't think it was that scary.
  • Way overrated in my opinion. I thought it was horrible and didn't even finish watching it.

  • I watched it last night and didn't think it was great but also didn't think it totally sucked. The ending kind of had me confused.
