With the success of “American Horror Story: Asylum,” it is safe to say that America enjoys a haunting tale that revolves around a mental institute. Martin Scorsese’s 2010 film, “Shutter Island,” starred Leonardo DiCaprio and opened with mixed reviews. Although the film was one of the major blockbusters during that year, Scorsese fans believed the movie fell short to his other projects.
I personally enjoyed both “Asylum” and “Shutter Island,” so I cannot wait to watch this series. The HBO show will be based on the actual hospital, “Ashecliffe.” The episodes will dive into the history of the asylum and uncover the wrongdoings of previous owners and employees.
