Ketrivie It isn't all that great, actually. Really cheesy and very predicable of how certain scenes are gonna turn play out. However, I guess that's the charm of it all, because I would consider this one of my guilty pleasures.

Payno I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

Quiet Muffin This movie tries so hard to be funny, yet it falls flat every time. Just another example of recycled ideas repackaged with women in an attempt to appeal to a certain audience.

Cassandra Story: It's very simple but honestly that is fine.

stewoolley Just watch something else, trust me it's rubbish. ......................................

BA_Harrison 1966: after burning down a farmhouse, a mentally troubled girl (Amber Heard) is sent to a psychiatric hospital for rehabilitative treatment; there, she discovers that the spirit of a previous patient is stalking the building, seeking revenge on those who wronged her.John Carpenter proves further that his best days are well behind him with The Ward, a film that, while no means terrible, offers very little to enthuse about. Ghostly goings-on in a psychiatric ward offer plenty of opportunity for serious chills, but Carpenter seems to be going through the motions, delivering very little genuine suspense and terror but plenty of cheap scares (a CGI spook providing the frights), along with just a smidge of gore. It's formulaic and instantly forgettable nonsense, not helped by a bland performance from star Heard, whose acting skills aren't on a par with her looks.To further illustrate the lack of fresh ideas, Carpenter wraps up his film with a twist that recalls the John Cusack mystery/horror Identity, and closes with one more jump scare for good measure.5/10.

kitarstar Carpenter is a master of cinema and I will not dwell ... On this movie you'll see a case of dissociative disorder with multiple personalities who is experienced in first person accompanying the protagonist in the progressive discovery of the truth of himself. What makes the film interesting and well done is precisely the process in which every veil lifted approaching albeit with some anxiety to the solution; while the film looks like a survival horror, as it is not absolutely a horror but a psychological thriller with some horror scenes but nothing particularly scary in my opinion. Instead prevails the atmosphere, the tension that permeates little or much every second of the film, and you know that here Carpenter is a master. In short, the film will be all the more appreciated as you seize the psychological subtleties of the plot. I liked it a lot.

The-Social-Introvert Carpenter's most recent movie came after a whopping 10 year break from the filmmaking industry. Unfortunately, he needn't have bothered – The Ward is an uninspired and bland minor horror flick that has already been forgotten. It's a shame that after a decade waiting for John to get of his butt the resulting movie contains nothing Carpenter-esque and instead results to cheap jump scares, loud music and a plot twist that is borderline offensive to the viewer.It certainly could have been good – the plot involves an institutionalized young woman who becomes terrorized by spooks in the night– but the movie is clearly the product of an exhausted man well past his peak. The Ward is worth checking out if you're a die-hard Carpenter fan, but otherwise stay away. It's also the only film I've seen that manages to show a number of women showering nude…without any nudity. Unless you count partial side-boobs. But they're no fun. Boo, my friends. Boo, and if you will, hiss.Best Scene: Is there any positives to take from this film? Hmmm, the opening credits were good, I guess. And although you could see it coming from a mile away, the last second of the film scared-the-hell out of me.
