Young woman placed in a mental ward must contend with having to deal with a vengeful ghost that is murdering off the other patients.
Disappointing return to the horror genre for director John Carpenter. The Ward is bland and uninspired. It plays out like a modest budgeted variation on Shutter Island, but without the suspense, visual sophistication or top notch cast that helped in part to make Shutter Island a memorable film experience. The Ward spins a story that involves elements of mystery, but the answers to that mystery are all too obvious The final twist, the big reveal at the end isn't even all that surprising. So what other reasons are there to watch The Ward?...
