Review of Stonehearst Asylum (2014) by Gareth J — 11 Dec 2015
"Stonehearst Asylum" is everything that "Shutter Island" should have been but wasn't - not that it was a particularly bad movie either. Good to see Ben Kingsley once reprising a clinical physician's role, even if he is still technically a villain, and Kate Beckinsale is in full "Haunted" mode.
If you like your Gothic horror to be realistic, this is a fairly safe bet since it truly does emphasize the cruelty and vivisecting nature surrounding the early years of mental health industry.
