The Ward (2010)
Ignore Carpenter for a solid flick
15 July 2011
This is one of those movies that you watch alone, late at night in the dark. Great Friday night fun. While not the greatest movie made(The Security here really needs to be FIRED), it has decent acting (I'm a fan of the Panabaker sisters), a creepy atmosphere (Hospitals freak me out), and a killer twist (No Spoilers :P). The monster is scary, the kills are great for gore-hounds, yet never overdone. Not as bad as other may be trashing, reading other reviews, I do agree it has a couple of flaws. It made me jump on several occasions and is a solid flick if you can move past Carpenter's renown. Just go in expecting cheese, and you'll be pleasantly surprised.

Better than most...

While this by far isn't the best movie ever thought of, it does a nice job of filling the need for a slasher flick late at night. The acting was solid, with most of Paris' scenes being the only ones that felt forced. The story was better than some others out there, this one at least tried to make sense. A book possessing people may stretch things a bit, but I give them points for creativity. Trying to review this as a "Scary" movie would be unfair to the genre. It's funny, and at time eerie, but nothing fantastic. You don't watch this kind of movie for a scare, you watch it to have a good laugh, which this does pretty well. And while the ending was kind of sappy, it still left something to be desired. Template plot, little character development, and some cheesy "Creepy music" make this a movie you can grab quick and enjoy. If you want to see a decent movie and have a good time, this is a solid choice. Not good, but not terrible.
