House of no horrors

The Ward (2010)

Directed by John Carpenter his first film in nearly 10 years stars Amber Heard, Lyndsy Fonseca and Jared Harris. A young woman with amnesia shares a ward in a psychiatric hospital with several other young woman and some sort of monster.

Despite being pretty well executed this film is severely hamstrung by an unoriginal and uninteresting script. The plot follows pretty well trodden ground with out offering anything new or especially scary, what twists there are do not really surprise at all. With such an uninspired script to start with it was really hard for this film to go anywhere and seems at best a lazy effort.

2/5
