Shutter Island

I didn't enjoy it because of the twist and how it worked with the movie upon second viewing, although those things did help.

I appreciated how the story worked for me on an emotional level. DiCaprio's nightmares created a sense of discomfort and fear for his slipping sanity. His increasingly paranoid journey to find out what's going on on The Island really worked for me, too. I felt like the odds were against him and whenever a wrench was thrown into the works, I felt on edge.

Most importantly, the flashback scene at the end was horrifying and heartbreaking. It all just worked and brought me into the lives of the characters.

I don't consider this a horror movie that's all about the twist, but an emotional movie about the sadness of coping with loss.
