Best Answer

The location of the psychiatric hospital in the movie "Shutter Island" (2010) is not based on any real location. The movie is fiction, based on the 2003 novel by Dennis Lahane.

Shutter Island itself is not an actual place. Borderland State Park in Easton, Massachusetts was used for the cabin scene, Peddocks Island was used as a setting for the story's island, and East Point, in Nahant, Massachusetts for the lighthouse scenes. Scenes inside the hospital were filmed at the old Medfield State Hospital in Medfield, Massachusetts.
