Genuinely terrifying, full of scenes that linger with incredible performances, I'm a big fan of this Scorsese tone poem of a film. DiCaprio is eminently watchable as a US Marshal in search of a missing patient on a Civil War fort off the coast of Massachusetts. Highlights include Patricia Clarkson, Ben Kingsley, Ted Levine, and Max Von Sydow in delicious supporting performances. The ending is devastating, and the nightmare sequences are truly horrifying. I'm a huge fan.
