John Carpenter’s long overdue return to horror ‘The Ward’ hit UK theatres a couple of months ago. Sadly, our US based counterparts are still waiting for it to arrive. It’s scheduled to get a limited run from 15 April 2011 and to help appease those who had completely forgotten all about it a new Italian international one-sheet has been released along with a couple of new clips from the flick. The highlight of the movie, of course, is that it stars ‘Drive Angry 3D’ hottie Amber Heard (below), and thwe beautiful Danielle Panabaker (‘The Crazies’). Check out the new poster, clips and read the full synopsis below.
“The Ward is an intense psychological thriller set in a mental institution where a young woman, Kristen, is haunted by a mysterious and deadly ghost. As danger creeps closer, she comes to realize that this ghost might be darker than she could have imagined.
Kristen, who is in her early 20’s, wakes to find herself bruised, cut, drugged, and held against her will in a remote ward of Chamberlain Psychiatric Hospital. She is completely disoriented with no idea why she was brought to this place and no memory of her life.
The other patients in the ward, four equally troubled girls, offer no answers, and Kristen quickly realizes things are not as they seem. The air is heavy with secrets, and at night, when the hospital is dark and foreboding, she hears strange and disturbing sounds. It appears they are not alone.
One by one the girls disappear, and Kristen must find a way out of this hellish place before the ghost comes for her, too. As she struggles to escape, she will uncover a truth far more dangerous and horrifying than anyone could have imagined.”
