Critics Consensus

Stonehearst Asylum offers over-the-top fun for genre aficionados; for others, however, it's likely to prove a dull disappointment.

Mark Kermode Observer (UK) 04/26/2015
2/5
At best it's hammy, Hammer-ish fun, although it has none of the tension of Brad Anderson's underappreciated potboiler The Call, and none of the wit of The Ninth Configuration, which remains the best screen tale of lunatics taking over an asylum. Go to Full Review
Geoffrey Macnab Independent (UK) 04/23/2015
2/5
This Victorian-set horror film can't help but seem a missed opportunity. It has the ingredients for a lurid and entertaining trip to the dark side. Go to Full Review

Stonehearst Asylum is a richly bonkers piece of Victoriana. Go to Full Review

The film has an impressive cast and was quite entertaining to watch, although it wasn’t too suspenseful until the very end. Go to Full Review

Far-fetched but entertaining, Stonehearst Ayslum is an enjoyable gothic thriller with a wonderful eerie tone which is assuredly directed by Brad Anderson. Go to Full Review

Jul 21 I enjoyed the movie. The story turned out to be a twisting one... See more Lynne D 10/04/2024 Tows a dull line: neither a suspenseful horror/thriller or a cheesy camp romp. A lot of well known actors in a poor pantomime. No message, no laugh, not even a proper cringe. What the filmmakers’ intentions were, we cannot ascertain. See more Mike W 08/25/2024 Great movie, with story, suspense, secrets, twists and a surprise ending. See more Christopher N 03/25/2024 A beautiful, intense, and heartwarming and fantastical period drama about a small world that has been turned upside down. The movie does a fantastic job of showing the complexity of the characters, revealing the good and evil qualities in both the caretakers and the patients of Stonehearst Asylum. This gripping story gradually reveals many twists along the way that unfold during the story's telling, the best of which can be found right at the end. Highly recommend. See more Ezequiel T 07/03/2023 Great movie. Fun to watch. Well made See more Regina P 06/05/2023 I liked the movie... I just don't like the fact that I can imagine this exact same story being elevated to even greater artistry. In the hands of a more capable director and storyteller with a better lead actor, this could have been Shutter Island. It could have been weightier. I thought the whole premise was great. There were no good or bad characters (at least the main characters). They were all a mix of good and bad. They all had good points. They all served a purpose in illuminating the problem. The film just couldn't help but to veer off to the commercial side, though. It could have explored more themes of mental health, sociopathy, dehumanization of institutions, etc. It was all there. And it missed. But just barely. I understood the themes, but I wanted the film to cut deeper. See more Read all reviews
