England, 1899. When young doctor Edward Newgate (Jim Sturgess) arrives at Stonehearst Asylum in search of an apprenticeship, he is warmly welcomed by superintendent Dr. Lamb (Ben Kingsley) and a mesmerizing woman named Eliza Graves (Kate Beckinsale). Edward is intrigued by Lamb’s modern methods of treating the insane…until a series of unusual events leads him to make a horrifying discovery, exposing Lamb’s utopia and pushing Edward to the limits of his conscience. 

Inspired by Edgar Allan Poe’s short story The System of Doctor Tarr and Professor Fether, STONEHEARST ASYLUM is a tale in which nobody is who or what they appear to be.

Review: In a world where most movies rely on nudity, bad language and explosions to cover for poor writing and lack of good story, telling this Movie stands out as what a great movie should be. This one pushes all my happy buttons. Great cast, amazing writing, twists and turns you never expect, mystery and a little love story.  Not to mention that I love a good costume drama. This reminds me a little of Shutter Island. All the twists and turns. Who is is telling the truth who is crazy. And just when you think you have it all figured out...BOOM something totally unexpected makes you question everything again. This is a movie you can watch over and over. It has all the elements to make it a modern classic. This is what moving making should be.

GO SEE This MOVIE!
