Viewing Notes

Set in 1899 in an asylum, a young doctor arrives to a less than stellar reception, falls for a female patient, and begins to question the superintendent’s methods. Based off a story by Poe, this is less the dark comedy that Poe originally wrote, and is instead meant to be a very dark horror themed thriller. Kate Beckinsale is one of the leads right off the poster, but isn’t really given all that much to do as most of the heavy lifting is from Ben Kingsley and Jim Sturgess. The crux of the film is revealed fairly early on, but how it all plays out is interesting and the cast was well picked and do a great job. This is more psychological horror and I’m betting this is either a film most are going to enjoy or be rather indifferent on.
