Kate Beckinsale psychological thriller "Stonehearst Asylum", loosely based on Edgar Allan Poe's short story. A lukewarm critical reception greeted the film upon its DVD release; Jeannette Catsoulis of "The New York Times" said Beckinsale was "emoting as if an Oscar nomination depended on it" while Dennis Harvey of "Variety" found her performance "overwrought." Also in 2014, she provided the voice for Queen Ayrenn, a character in "The Elder Scrolls Online" video game. In 2015, she starred in the psychological thriller "The Face of an Angel" alongside Daniel Brühl. The film, directed by Michael Winterbottom, was inspired by the case of Meredith Kercher.
