Got a nice view there, do ya?
Brad Anderson's Edgar Allan Poe-inspired STONEHEARST ASYLUM came and went without much fanfare last month, but those of you (aka all of you) who missed out the first time will be able to catch it on home video when Millennium Entertainment releases it on Blu-ray and DVD on December 16th.
The film has a pretty impressive cast, which makes it all the more perplexing that it was barely a blip on the radar: Kate Beckinsale, Michael Caine, Ben Kingsley and Jim Sturgess all star. I'll watch anything with Kate Beckinsale, which might explain why I've seen the TOTAL RECALL remake twice.
When young doctor Edward Newgate (Sturgess) arrives at Stonehearst Asylum in search of an apprenticeship, he is warmly welcomed by superintendent Dr. Lamb (Kingsley) and a mesmerizing woman by the name of Eliza Graves (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.
