	Author	Review
United States	Dennis Harvey Variety	"A tony British cast is underserved by this well-mounted but pointless version of an Edgar Allan Poe story"	NEG
United States	Betsy Sharkey Los Angeles Times	"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"	NEU
United States	Rex Reed The New York Observer	"A movie that is several cuts above your usual straitjacket thriller. Enter at your own risk"	POS
United States	Jeannette Catsoulis The New York Times	"Shockingly flabby."	NEG
United States	Elizabeth Weitzman New York Daily News	"If you accept the grandly Gothic insanity here, there's a lot of fun to be had. (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of five)"	POS
