Stonehearst Asylum (2014)

This Time.. I'll Play Doctor

A Review

Read Time: 1 min read

Rating: 3 out of 5.

Psychological patients taking over the minds of the sane—while being fooled by other psychological patients.

The poster for this film unintentionally ruins the entire plot unfortunately.

I’ll admit, this wasn’t the best psychological thriller I’ve ever seen… until the ending.

If you’ve ever felt like you could be tricked, this movie tricks you twice—at the same time.

The ending baffled me because suddenly, everything that seemed confusing became clear. And yes, I know that makes zero sense in how I just worded it, but trust me—it will once you watch this film.

About halfway through, I started getting a bit drowsy. The pacing was slow, and the information just felt like it was being dragged out. The ending, however, didn’t just change my perspective—it completely redefined how I rated the movie overall.

Plot Summary

A man from Oxford ventures into an asylum in the middle of nowhere, only to discover that it’s been taken over by an unexpected force. What follows is a twisting, unpredictable journey of deception and psychological warfare.

And the ending? The ending twists more than you can imagine.

Throughout the film, we follow Dr. Newgate—a man who introduces himself, but never really gives us any backstory. And there’s a reason for that. One that’s brilliantly explained in the film.

This is where the movie truly shines—it keeps you questioning everything.

  • Dr. Salt (Michael Caine) – A solid character but underdeveloped. He briefly explains a major situation but then just fades into the background.
  • Silas Lamb (Ben Kingsley) – An incredible performance. Kingsley is a veteran of psychological thrillers, and it shows. He knows exactly how to manipulate an audience.
  • Eliza Graves (Kate Beckinsale) – Spectacular. Her character suffers from a disorder that I couldn’t quite pinpoint (and oddly enough, I couldn’t find much about it online), but it feels real. Beckinsale plays her with conviction and depth.

One thing that really started grating on my nerves was how obsessively Newgate kept trying to get Eliza Graves to run away with him. The same scene. The same answers. Again and again.

But then… the ending explained why.

And suddenly, it wasn’t annoying anymore—it was brilliant.

There is one line in this film that you will see coming from a mile away.

If you don’t, well…you probably haven’t watched enough cliché movies.

A small hint?
It starts with “Madly”.

If you enjoy psychology, mental institutions, and a good dose of mental inception, Stonehearst Asylum is definitely worth a watch.

Just be patient with the slow pacing—because the payoff is well worth it.

Jack Reacher was awesome, and I highly enjoyed it. It wasn as good as the book, but I believe it to be a solid film throughout. Plus Rosamund Pike staircase plot.
