“Stonehearst Asylum” (2014), directed by Brad Anderson, is a psychological thriller based on Edgar Allan Poe’s short story The System of Doctor Tarr and Professor Fether. The film stars Kate Beckinsale, Jim Sturgess, Ben Kingsley, and Michael Caine.
The plot revolves around Edward Newgate (Jim Sturgess), a recent medical school graduate, who arrives at Stonehearst Asylum for an apprenticeship. There, he meets Eliza Graves (Kate Beckinsale), a patient who catches his interest. Edward quickly discovers that the asylum is not what it seems, as the doctors and staff appear to be more sinister than expected. As he delves deeper into the inner workings of the asylum, Edward finds himself entangled in a web of deception and madness.
The film blends mystery, suspense, and gothic horror, creating an eerie atmosphere. The performances, particularly by Ben Kingsley as the enigmatic Dr. Lamb, add to the film’s unsettling vibe. The setting of the asylum itself, dark and foreboding, is used effectively to heighten the sense of dread.
