If you haven’t caught it on VOD already well ‘The Ward’ is now hiding on there for our US based cousins to check out. The sexy Amber Heard leads in this new horror from veteran horror director John Carpenter and she features somewhat on a new one-sheet that has arisen over at the Kino Gallery. If you haven’t yet watched it you’ll be able to catch it in selected theatres from 8 July. Then it’ll hit DVD and Blu-ray from 16 August 2011. Danielle Panabaker (‘Piranha 3DD’), Lyndsy Fonseca (‘Kick-Ass’) and Jared Harris (‘Fringe’) all co-star. Check out the poster 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.”
