Well, better a bad Carpenter, than no Carpenter at all... Score: 5/10.

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.

Every time I watch a modern Carpenter film I am sorely disappointed. I think from now on whenever I'm tempted I'll just watch The Thing or Escape From New York again instead.

It wasn't a bad movie at all, but as far as masks were concerned, it was pretty weak enough. On the other hand, it had an interesting story with a good resolution of the whole film, but except for the good story and the good resolution, there was not much to jump out of the skin, and also enough traps.
I dare say that I would count them on the fingers of one hand, I think there were only 5 of them, which would not matter so much if the plot of the film was more fun and exciting, but I still think that the rating of 6 out of 10 deserves and that especially for the end of the whole film.

A surprisingly tame outing for horror master John Carpenter, The Ward plays more as a mystery/suspense film. It begins as a dark drama about a group of girls in a psych ward and then slowly shifts gears when a ghost seemingly starts stalking them. Starring Amber Heard, Danielle Panabaker, Lyndsy Fonseca, and Jared Harris, the cast is quite good and give fairly strong performances. The script however, is a little weak. By and large the story feels familiar and makes several obvious hints as to what the twists will be. Still, the plot comes together rather well and delivers a few chills. Though different from the typical Carpenter flick, The Ward has a bit of his trademark style and is a pretty solid psychological thriller.

You can see the plot-twist coming from 5 miles away making this movie an ordeal to watch. By the third victim I was wishing for the twist to be revealed so something would happen. Unfortunately for all it did not...

I was going to rate it with a 5 when a ghost is murdered with an ax... wtf. But I loved the resolution, when all of these girls were someone of her multiple personalities. And they killed her because they didn't want to die so the real Alice is killing them one by one to extinct them and be only one real person. But... they are coming back again. Cool.
