Going head to head with Wes Craven’s SCREAM 4 on April 15th – albeit on far less screens – is John Carpenter’s psychological thriller THE WARD, starring Amber Heard. The film, which scored a moderate review from our man The Arrow, has already enjoyed a tour on European soil, having been released in the U.K. in January. And even though the next stop is Singapore, it seems a new Italian one-sheet for the film has just crossed the lines. Scroll and scope it…
Written by Shawn and Michael Rasmussen, THE WARD follows:
Kristen (Heard), a beautiful but troubled young woman, who finds herself bruised, cut, drugged, and held against her will in a remote ward of a Psychiatric Hospital. She is completely disoriented, with no idea why she was brought to this place and no memory of her life before being admitted. All she knows is that she isn’t safe.
The other patients in the ward, four equally disturbed young women, 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 frightening sounds. It appears they are not alone.
One-by-one the other girls begin to disappear and Kristen must find a way out of this hellish place before she, too, becomes a victim. As she struggles to escape, she will uncover a truth far more dangerous and horrifying than anyone could have imagined.
Mika Boorem, Jared Harris, Mamie Gummer, Laura-Leigh, Sydney Sweeney, Sean Cooke, Milos Milicevic and Jillian Kramer also star.
