Martin Scorsese? Check. Period outfits? Right. Boston accent? Um, yes.

We're on to you, Leonardo DiCaprio. Shutter Island looks peppered with elements from your other recent movies, excluding, of course, the evil madhouse doctors, violent hallucinations and psycho dude from Watchmen. To be fair, it looks a bit more My Bloody Valentine than Blood Diamond.

Set in 1954, the film features DiCaprio as a U.S. Marshall investigating a secretive mental institution for the criminally insane run by Ben Kingsley. But it's more like an Island populated with potential Oscar nominees, with a cast that includes Michelle Williams, Mark Ruffalo, Patricia Clarkson, Emily Mortimer, Max Von Sydow and Jackie Earle Haley.

So do you like the whole "something wicked-awesome this way comes" vibe? As island getaways go, it seems pretty grim. But you tell us: Think you'll go crazy for it?
