Tuesday, January 4, 2011 at 2:03PM John Carpenter Releases Partial Trailer for 'The Ward'
If you read my post last week for the best film trailers of 2010, then you know I consider myself a huge horror buff. I really have one person to thank for that (well two if you count my mom for showing me a slasher flick at a very inappropriate age, thanks mom!). And, that person is the iconic John Carpenter. The first time I saw that mental patient walking around Haddonfield in an all white William Shatner mask I knew I had it bad.
Yesterday, Carpenter released a "trailer intro" for his latest film The Ward. While I normally would have waited until a full trailer was released to pass it on to you guys, I decided to post this one for two reasons: 1. it's John Carpenter, and 2. it actually looks pretty good.
Check it out after the jump.
While Carpenter hasn't made a film in almost a decade, and his most recent features almost seem like he phoned them in for the paycheck, this "trailer" really looks like he's returned to form. I am a little worried as the film only has a 6.7 rating on IMDb from some early screenings and a premiere at TIFF, but that's what those screenings are for, to get the bugs out so to speak. Hopefully we don't have another Ghosts of Mars on our hands.
The Ward is scheduled for a January 21 release in the UK but as of now there is still no US date set.
Synopsis:
The Ward is an intense psychological thriller set in a mental institution where a young woman, Kristen, is haunted by a mysterious and deadly ghost. As danger creeps closer, she comes to realize that this ghost might be darker than she could have imagined. Kristen, who is in her early 20′s, wakes to find herself bruised, cut, drugged, and held against her will in a remote ward of Chamberlain Psychiatric Hospital. She is completely disoriented with no idea why she was brought to this place and no memory of her life.
The other patients in the ward, four equally troubled girls, 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 disturbing sounds. It appears they are not alone. One by one the girls disappear, and Kristen must find a way out of this hellish place before the ghost comes for her, too. As she struggles to escape, she will uncover a truth far more dangerous and horrifying than anyone could have imagined.
