Eliza Graves | Rotten Tomatoes

Lynne D 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. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 10/04/24 Full Review Mike W Great movie, with story, suspense, secrets, twists and a surprise ending. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 08/25/24 Full Review Christopher N 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. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/25/24 Full Review Ezequiel T Great movie. Fun to watch. Well made Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/03/23 Full Review Regina P 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. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 06/05/23 Full Review Larry J Stonehearst Asylum had the ingredients to be a great movie, but in the end it settled for just ok. Good cast, Kate Beckinsale, set in an asylum - how could this not be awesome? The story just did not have enough to be scary or mysterious. Ok to pass the time, but there are many other better movies out there. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 04/22/23 Full Review Read all reviews
