John Carpenter is a celebrated filmmaker who frequently has worked in the sci-fi and horror genres. He is one of the brand name filmmakers from the 1970's-80's. His filmography includes Assault on Precinct 13, Halloween, The Fog, Escape From New York, The Thing, Starman, Big Trouble in Little China, They Live, many of which have already been remade or are currently in development for a big screen redo. Carptener's career hit a slump in the 1990's with films like Memoirs of an Invisible Man, Village of the Damned, Escape from LA, Vampire$ and. Ghosts of Mars. Carpenter has not made a feature film in almost nine years.
This year at the Toronto International Film Festival, Carpenter makes his return to the big screen with a film called The Ward. Does this mark a triumphant return for Carpenter? Unfortunately not.
Written by Michael and Shawn Rasmussen (whose only other produced credit in the 2005 indie thriller Long Distance), the story follows a young woman named Kristen (played by Amber Heard) who is institutionalized after apparently setting fire to a house. Once inside "the ward," Kristen becomes terrorized by a ghost of a former patient.
The plot is beyond derivative, and functions only so that Carpenter can serve unexplained jump scares at the audience (shocking reveals with loud musical cues). The film is shot in a more old-fashioned approach, which comes off more stilted than nostalgic. But who knows, the film might have worked a lot better in the 1980's.
Kristen's psychotic inmates are all, like herself, beautiful young women, the ugliest of which could maybe pass for a young version of Lauren Dern. Of course, this can be reasoned later in the plot to some degree (although I think it would be not much more than an excuse). But still, it all appears to be an excuse to shoot a shower sequence with all of the young women - which don't get me wrong, I'm not against this sort of exploitation in genre films, but this serves almost no purpose and features no real nudity.
