Review of The Ward (2010) by Christopher H — 24 Aug 2011
"Tired" is all I can say for John Carpenter's latest film, The Ward. It relies too heavily on recycled horror plot points and scares, piggy-backing on similar films (and much better films) that came before it.
The film fails to commit to a certain distinction, not coming off creepy enough for today's horror, but not scaring enough to be considered in line with "old' horror. Also, Amber Heard sticks out like a bright shade of red in a box of grey and blue, not fitting the genre or period what-so-ever.
