John Carpenter finally returns to direct The Ward. His last directorial gig was The Ghost of Mars, in 2001. A campy, but fun sci-fi thriller that stars Ice Cube.

The Ward is about a troubled young woman in the 60s locked up in a mental institution. At nights, she hears things, and isn’t sure what’s going on. She starts to investigate, but in the end, are there really ghosts, or is she just crazy?

Hmm, sounds a little like Shutter Island. But, knowing Carpenter, there probably are ghosts in the institution.

Here’s are 2 screenshots of the film.
