THE WARD has hired its head doctor. Turns out Jared Harris, whom you may know from such diverse flicks as THE CURIOUS CASE OF BENJAMIN BUTTON, RESIDENT EVIL: APOCALYPSE, and I SHOT ANDY WARHOL, will be portraying the role of “Dr. Stringer” in John Carpenter’s new thriller.

But it’s when the lights go out that things get really unsettling, as Kristen begins to see a ghostly figure roaming the halls – and even entering her room.
