THE WARD

Newly professed lesbian Amber Heard headlines John Carpenter's (The Thing, They Live) newest, surely scream-laden film about a girl who gets committed into a mental institution. Heard becomes friends with the other, equally attractive female inmates who share the story of a ghost that terrorizes their prison.

On face, this has similarities with Zack Snyder's upcoming Sucker Punch; although the chances are good that Ward will go without stone samurai that wield gatling guns. Jared Harris (television's Mad Men) costars as the warden of the haunted facility.



Carpenter's last outing was 2001's forgettable Ghosts of Mars. It had Natasha Henstridge and Ice Cube in it, and they battled some possessed, self-mutiliating people. Unlike most of her previous pictures though, Henstridge didn't go topless, so it's hardly worth mentioning.
