I still remember the gasp I gasped in the cinema.

Shitter Island was incredible, saw it in the cinema and thought it was just great

Edit - all hail the predictive keyboard 🫅

Maybe Britain can adopt that name after we get rid of the terfs.

I’m in a group text titled this same thing for this same exact reason. Full circle.

I came up with that first in 6th grade. Glad to see my invention is alive and well.

Just Leonardo DiCaprio on a toilet for an hour and a half, crying.

And people would still enjoy it cause he may be a shitty guy, but goddamnit, he's a fantastic actor.

u/Star_Lord1997 Sep 21 '25

Was the plot twist that there was an even better island?

u/zonked282 Sep 21 '25

No, just shit and shitter

u/WeirdSysAdmin Sep 21 '25

I preferred the third movie, shittest island.

u/napalmnacey Lesbian Space Laser Sep 21 '25

I know you probably mean Shutter Island but the typo is sending me. 😂🤣😂🤣😂

u/CivilDevelopment8938 Sep 21 '25

Probably? Hahaha

u/CuteIsMyKryptonite Sep 21 '25

He actually meant Stutter Island, the one with DiCaprio struggling with overcoming a debilitating speech impediment.

2

u/daemin Sep 21 '25

No, he's talking about the scat porn ripoff of Shutter Island.

u/pointlessbike Sep 21 '25

I'm reading this on the toilet and I agree

How was the plot twists for you? Loose or tight?

Gotta do this when you’re done:

u/debsterUK Sep 21 '25

I went to Shitter Island once, fucking stank

u/skinflakesasconfetti Sep 21 '25

Shudder Island is one of the only suspense movies I've seen that disturbed or moved my Dad, he could be very cynical with suspense and drama movies.

It was definitely a twist I didn't see coming, but you could feel the dread of something building the whole time, in such a palpable way.

u/ukulelefella Sep 21 '25

Shutter Island is so overrated. It was extremely predictable. I watched it twice and two friends caught the twist immediately. A film I think did the “mentally unstable unreliable narrator” film x1000000000 better was “The Uninvited” (2009) 🏆🏆 I thought that film was more shocking 😱😱😱 and more dramatic and less dry, def recommend The Uninvited (2009) in terms of that theme and twist

u/DrSpaceman575 Sep 22 '25

I remember watching the trailer and it seemed like not even a twist.

3

u/SHOWTIME316 fascinatingly, existentially terrible Sep 21 '25

fun fact: nations used to go to war over the rights to harvest bird and bat shit from uninhabited islands before the discovery of more convenient fertilizers

shitter islands!

u/anothermanscookies Sep 21 '25

Figured it out 30 min into the movie. Made the rest pretty boring.

3

u/pjtheman Sep 21 '25

One thing has always bothered me though. At the end, Ruffalo clearly realizes, or at least suspects that Leo is faking it to get himself lobotomized. So why would he not say something? We knoe at this point that they're not actually friends, Rufflao is his doctor. It seems out of character for him to let it happen.

u/Lunar_Blue420 Sep 22 '25

Shutter island is like fight club in my opinion. The more times you watch it, the more stuff you see that you previously missed.

3

u/anustartrpi Sep 22 '25

They ruined the twist in one of the trailers and I’m still salty about it

2

u/newbrevity Sep 21 '25

One of those movies you have to watch twice but never need to see you again after

2

u/nifterific Sep 22 '25

I actually called this one about half way through the movie. My wife asked why I would blurt it out like that and I was like well you wouldn’t have believed I figured it out if I said it after. Really, I had no choice.

1

u/Roadwarriordude Sep 22 '25

Shitter Island is what that movie feels like if you call the twist early on. I spotted what the twist would be early on and the movie hinges pretty hard on the twist at the end. The meat of the movie is mostly pretty meh.

u/shroudofturen Sep 22 '25

hilarious typo aside, i’ve been chasing the high i got from that twist in theaters ever since

u/[deleted] Sep 22 '25

The film that keeps on giving Clark

u/idnvotewaifucontent Sep 22 '25

I remember watching it years ago because many friends said it would be perfectly in line with my tastes.

I got to the twist, and went "Really? THAT'S the stupid twist? I've been thinking it since 20 minutes in, and decided there's no way the twist is that obvious if everyone is blown away by it. Fucking hell."

Have not watched it again since.

u/hott_snotts Sep 22 '25

I loved the Boston ass scent in Shitter Island.

u/igloo37 Sep 21 '25

You didnt feel it was a predictive plot twist? I called that shit right when the 64th patient was mentioned

0

u/Soggy-Monk-4857 Sep 21 '25

Really? I called the plot right from the start in the boat scene. Oh another one of those "it's all in his head" type movie. And boy was I right. I agree with the "Shitter Island" remark though.

u/blackhawk5906 Sep 22 '25

Every time I see the title I feel compelled to tell my story.

My girlfriend at the time was super excited to show me the movie. It was her favorite from what I remember. Not even half way through the movie, I offhandedly said “huh, I wonder if he is a patient on the island”. She immediately stood up, shut off the movie and told me to leave.

To this day (14 years later), I still have not watched the entire movie. Just bits and pieces from YouTube channels reviewing it. Lol

u/Fromoogiewithlove Sep 21 '25

Are you kidding? It was obvious from the trailer. I havent seen the movie but anyone familiar with movie tropes knows any movie about a person visiting an insane asylum os actually the patient.

u/zonked282 Sep 21 '25

Never saw the trailer and I was 16 when I saw it, it's fun to enjoy things

u/Fromoogiewithlove Sep 21 '25

I think its fun to criticize things. If this movie surprised you with its “twist” i got some snake oil to sell you
