I don’t believe that Scorsese has really been in horror/thriller territory since 1991’s Cape Fear and I suppose he decided to make a fun creepy film after winning his Oscar for The Departed.
And boy does this trailer look creepy.
From the looks of it the film either involves DiCaprio’s federal marshall character going insane or seeing ghosts (or both), while investigating a prisoner disappearance at an isolated mental institution.
The film opens in October (in time for Halloween) and I’ll be sure to check it out.
