Our US readers have been waiting a long time for the emergence of John Carpenter’s return to horror ‘The Ward’ but finally it appears this time next month they’ll finally get to check it out! ‘The Ward’, starring hotties Amber Heard -below (‘Drive Angry 3D’) and Danielle Panabaker (‘Mr Brooks’), will arrive on VOD from 8 June across the US and exactly one month later it’ll be receiving a theatrical run from 8 July. It was set to receive a limited run in April but sadly this fell through. It’s truly a sad time when a studio can’t properly promote a horror maestro’s newest work.
“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.”
