The result is a trim, scrubbed work, as strange and distilled as a mid-1930s Tod Browning chiller. Full Review

Mr. Carpenter manages to overcome all of the setbacks to churn out something half decent - That in itself is pretty thrilling to watch. Full Review

[T]his is a ghost story merged with a slasher film and sealed with a SHUTTER ISLAND twist. -- Grade: B-

Rating: 2/4 -- The shocks mostly consist of figures suddenly rising up in the background, or thunderclaps from a seemingly endless thunderstorm. Full Review

An aggressively plain spook story that favors jump moments over sustained tension and winds up falling back on a particularly tired twist. Full Review

Rating: 5/10 -- The Ward might not bode too well for Carpenter's come back, but he did do good things with what he had to work with (clichéd story and script). Full Review

Product Description:

A young girl named Kristen (Amber Heard) awakens in a psychiatric hospital after setting a farmhouse ablaze, and finds herself stalked by a malevolent ghost in this psychological shocker from celebrated horror director John Carpenter (HALLOWEEN). Badly battered and seemingly stricken with amnesia, Kristen forges a fragile friendship with fellow patients Sarah (Danielle Panabaker), Iris (Lyndsy Fonseca), Emily (Mamie Gummer), and Zoey (Laura-Leigh) as her compassionate therapist, Dr. Stringer (Jared Harris), works to uncover the source of her mysterious condition. Later, at night, when the lights in her remote ward go dim, Kristen is confronted by an imposing phantom that seems intent on dragging her screaming into the darkness. Eventually, the other girls in the ward begin to vanish, one by one. Now, the harder Kristen fights to avoid falling prey to her shadowy pursuer, the more convinced she becomes that no patient who's checked in to North Bend Psychiatric Hospital ever comes out alive.
