Stonehearst Asylum Reviews
RogerEbert.com
Brian Tallerico
It may not be his worst film overall, but "Stonehearst" is Anderson's flattest film, a disappointingly shallow affair that wastes an opportunity to breathe life into a timeless Edgar Allen Poe short story.
Seattle Times
Moira MacDonald
All involved deserve better, particularly Poe.
New York Daily News
Elizabeth Weitzman
If you accept the grandly Gothic insanity here, there's a lot of fun to be had.
Chicago Tribune
Michael Phillips
"Stonehearst Asylum" starts with the hysteria knob set at 11 and goes up from there.
AV Club
Ignatiy Vishnevetsky
Stonehearst takes off, subverting genre expectations by turning the inmates into representatives of modernity.
Observer
Rex Reed
This is a movie that is several cuts above your usual straitjacket thriller. Enter at your own risk.
The Dissolve
Charles Bramesco
Between its distinctly modern intelligence and razor-sharp plotting, Anderson's clever contraption matches the heights of Gothic grandeur that keep Poe held in esteem today.
Slant Magazine
Christopher Gray
In the wake of the ostentatious atmospherics summoned by the likes of Shutter Island and American Horror Story: Asylum, the film feels unnecessarily restrained.
Los Angeles Times
Betsy Sharkey
On the surface, Anderson seems to have all the necessary pieces for a surreal psycho pop. But the fear factor eludes him, leaving "Stonehearst Asylum" more insipid than insane.
New York Times
Jeannette Catsoulis
Shockingly flabby ...
Village Voice
Rob Staeger
The implicit criticism of psychiatry without compassion makes this confection unusually filling. Vincent Price never had it so good.
Variety
Dennis Harvey
The lunatics have seldom taken over the asylum so literally, yet to so little reward, as in "Stonehearst Asylum."
Film Journal International
Maitland McDonagh
While the film lacks the macabre humor of the original story, it does an excellent job of conveying the creeping horror of Victorian medicine.
Common Sense Media
Jeffrey M. Anderson
Anderson clearly takes delight in all the proceedings, which is one of the reasons his films feel fresh instead of lazy.
Chicago Daily Herald
Dann Gire
It fails to be sexy, scary, revealing, suspenseful or even exciting.
Daily Film Fix
Jonathan W. Hickman
Not a horror movie per se, but still containing horror elements, Stonehearst Asylum is a well-made, well-acted tale that could find an audience among viewers looking for a spooky story that doesn't deliver a pile of dead teenagers.
RedEye
Matt Pais
An off-brand Shutter Island, nearly devoid of stylistic flourishes or memorably strange details, instead intent on repeatedly telling us things we already know.
Mark Reviews Movies
Mark Dujsik
Aside from the crucial but completely arbitrary twist at the end, what we see and hear is exactly what we get...
Under the Radar
Austin Trunick
Stonehearst Asylum is an effective period thriller, more than worthy of your next seasonal horror marathon.
HollywoodInToto.com
Christian Toto
Stonehearst Asylum will make you think twice about how we care for the mentally ill then ... and now. Oh, and it's also a smart thriller with a kiss of pulp.
