Exciting, Macabre, Gothic Thriller
Reviewed by: Dare Devil Kid (DDK)Rating: 3.6/5 stars
If you like period pieces, psychopathic characters, excellent actors, and plenty of atmospherics, then “Stonehearst Asylum” should be right up your alley. Between its distinctly modern intelligence and razor-sharp plotting, Director, Brad Anderson’s clever contraption almost matches the heights of Gothic grandeur that keep Poe held in high esteem even today.
Anderson clearly takes delight in all the proceedings, which is one of the reasons the film feels fresh. While the film might lack some the macabre drama and dark humor of the original Edgar Allan Poe tale, it still does a fine job of conveying a creepy, engaging thriller with a brilliant Gothic atmosphere and fine performances from its terrific ensemble cast.
There’s probably a brilliant, award-worthy film to be made about the inhumane way the medical practice dealt with the mentally ill in the past. This one isn’t it, but it is nonetheless a solid, sturdy piece of entertainment. “Stonehearst Asylum” is an insane, Gothic thriller with a lot of chills, thrills, and fun to be had along the way.
Highly underrated movie, surprisingly smart and will keep you wanting more
I only watched this movie because it had the word “Asylum” in the title (Honestly – I just hoped it would have some Arkham Asylum type crazies in it). I did not have high expectations when I started watching this movie…Was I pleasantly surprised – it was a GREAT movie and I almost wanted to watch it again. I liked the characters and their stories, the setting as well as well as the plot twist at the end.
I must however point out that the fact that the movie description/summary I read contained a key spoiler – this did not spoil the movie for me, but I would have enjoyed the film even more had I not known certain details.
I thoroughly enjoyed this fantastic movie and I was a little bit sad when it ended.
