Stonehearst Asylum
An Oxford Medical School graduate takes a position at a mental institution and soon becomes obsessed with a female mental patient, but he has no idea of a recent and horrifying staffing change.
Stonehearst Asylum reads as a gothic medical thriller with disturbing asylum imagery and suspenseful twists. Horror elements exist and contribute to atmosphere, but the film's core identity is mystery/deception and period drama rather than fear or horror as the primary experience.
Best for viewers looking for a scary, atmosphere-heavy, psychological, slow-burning and low-gore horror movie.
