Moviefone: It's been a long ten years, but one of the true masters of horror returns to the big screen this summer. The mastermind behind 'Halloween,' 'The Thing' and 'Prince of Darkness' -- John Carpenter -- delivers a terrifying new batch of chills with his mental hospital-set thriller: 'The Ward.'

I think New Year's Eve, Jack and Jill and The Three Musketeers would have been worthier candidates.
Why So Blu?:
So has John Carpenter finally made it back into the realm of full feature films or is he a bit rusty? Rusty isn’t the proper word, but he sure is back. I do think that his focus is there, because on The Ward he only served as director and nothing more. This frees him up immensely as he does not have to worry about his own script, score, etc., because other people are now in charge of that. John Carpenter’s The Ward is a well directed horror film that was desperately needed, because the current environment of horror film schlock leaves a lot to be desired. John Carpenter’s The Ward is creepy to the extreme and who really doesn’t want to see a bunch of hot girls running around getting stalked by a ghost? I do!

Discover as we did why this is a must see for everyone that considers themselves a movie lover. We also discuss some of the more recent theatrical releases such as Horrible Bosses and the first film in over ten years from legendary horror director John Carpenter, The Ward. Featured music this week is from the 13 Assassins motion picture soundtrack.
Amber Heard is cool with me, I like her. Didn't even know who she was a few months ago and now I'm seeing her everywhere. Glad she's getting decent looking projects.
Just checked out the trailer for it and it looks nice. I could have done without the cheesy grab thing at the end though. poster looks decent too.
* Gulp *
can't wait to see it
Why are horror people so un creative with their titles? A majority of them start with "the" and its the most annoying thing in the world to me. Its like playing the word game, where you say a word and someone says a word to go with it...and someone always says cabinet or book...Its not creative and its stupid.
Honestly I attempt to NOT see any horror movie with "the" in the title and a good majority of them sucked anyways.
I love horror movies, I love making them, they can be really fun. But it seems its come down to people simply dying in grusome ways and the word "the" lol...Neither of which are scary anymore.
I like horror films but I like the ones that play with your head not the bloody ones. I'd rather see the ones that are more suspenseful and scary because you don't know what's behind the corner....stuff like that.
