Shutter Island
- Shutter Island (2010) is a psychological thriller directed by Oscar-winning directed Martin Scorsese and stars Leonardo DiCaprio as the lead role.

There is heavy use of rain in Shutter Island using pathetic fallacy is a typical trait of a thriller film, using it to convey a desperate atmosphere |
- "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." - alfiehitchie - IMDB
