Ep 99. Stonehearst Asylum (2014) CHERRY-PIE with Shawn
•
There is no cure for madness.
Shawn has brought along a movie with one hell of a cast - Stonehearst Asylum (2014)
Young doctor Edward Newgate (Jim Sturgess) arrives at Stonehearst Asylum to learn the ways of a 19th century Alienist under the tutelage of Dr Lamb (Ben Kingsley). But it isn't long until he begins to realize that things at the Asylum have gone horribly wrong. One of the patients Eliza (Kate Beckinsale) warns him that they've recently come under new management and this is compounded as Edward discovers the staff including Dr. Salt (Michael Caine) - the previous head Doctor - locked in cells beneath the institute. It's a race against time as functionality begins to crumble while Edward does his best to not arouse suspicion and keeps things ticking along.
So be careful who you touch, be sure to use your eyes and keep strong in a battle of wills as we're admitted to Stonehearst Asylum (2014)
