The Ward
“Only sanity can keep you alive!”
Director
John Carpenter
Screenplay
Shawn Rasmussen, Michael Rasmussen
John Carpenter's return to the director's chair after a long absence is a modest psychological horror set in a 1960s psychiatric ward, where a young arsonist (Amber Heard) becomes convinced a vengeful ghost is picking off the other patients. Competently made but slight, it hinges on a twist many viewers saw coming. A minor coda to a legendary career, it disappointed fans hoping for a genre-shaking comeback.
