Review of The Ward (2010) by Jake A — 18 Jan 2012

This was simply not the return to form I was expecting from John Carpenter, who hadnâ(TM)t made a film since Ghosts of Mars back in the early 2000s. Amber Heard is gorgeous, but both the twist and scares are trite.

I felt like I was watching a much less good version of Shutter Island mixed with One Flew Over the Cuckooâ(TM)s Nest, but nowhere near as good as either film. Another case of needlessly wasted potential with a good cast.

For shame, John Carpenter!
