Hehe. To be fair to Slater though he was good in the series Breaking In. The pilot was pretty tight. Shame it didn't last more than 7 eps when so much other crap got picked up this season. Freaked me out though as I watched it after watching Heathers again and the age was really throwing me particularly as he had some JD mannerisms. Slater will be popping up all over the place in '11 & '12. Whereas Carpenter has far more to attone for as he hasn't made a decent film since '86. He should have left on a high because I don't think he has it in him anymore and his woeful outweighs the gold.

John Carpenter, am begging you, please do not let this be your "final" movie. End with a bang, not a whimper. 'The Ward' is by far Carpenters worst movie. It's a generic horror thriller that lacks any suspense or atmosphere. Instead the move relays way too much on jump scares to the point it became irritating to watch. It also doesn't help that the twist-ending is just the worst. Some of the performances were pretty decent; the standout being Jared Harris who is at least trying, bless his heart. However the other performances were pretty terrible; the standout being Amber Turd. Overall rating: The one star is for Jared Harris.

I thought it was decent, watched it last night on Netflix, not great, but not horrible. Kind of predictable.

Eh, I've definitely seen worse films, especially in the horror genre, which is fucking littered with trash. John Carpenter has the bar set for him so high because of what he's done in the past. The Thing, Halloween, and They Live were revolutionary genre masterpieces. So, I can understand ho More

Listen, don't let this place get to you. You stay locked up long enough and you start to believe that you're nuts.

After a gap of nine years, horror legend John Carpenter returned to the movie screen directors chair for this solid if unspectacular horror movie. Though some of the critical reactio More
