The Ward


Overview:  When Kristen discovers that she like to play with matches, she's taken and admitted to the loony bin at the local hospital with four unnaturally hot roommates.  Kristen quickly realizes that somethings wrong when 1. She notices that the years have been kind to her roommates since they look like cover-girl supermodels, and 2. One by one they're being stalked by what looks like Michael Jackson, but is really a zombified version of "The Ring" girl.

The Good:  John Carpenter is up in the ranks with George A. Romero and Wes Craven by being one of the greatest Horror filmmakers of all time.  Even though everyone knows that Psych wards aren't really filled with armature supermodels it's still fun to watch them freak out and try to plan an escape, and this time we don't have to worry about any lingerie models having a fantasy-dance-montoges.  There isn't much too this movie, and you basically get everything that it's selling you, which is a haunted hospital full of babes.

The Bad:  I don't want tos ay it was forgetable, because this was made by John Carpenter, and that would be like saying Captain Crunch gives you caveties.  There are parts of this movie that are pretty forgetable though, but at the same time I still liked it, like how i'm going to continue eating Captain Crunch even if my teeth rot away.  Although I'm not going to give the reasons why, this movie is like the younger sister to "Shutter Island", and NO that doesn't give anything away in regards to the ending; trust me, i'm a red-head.

The Ugly:  I knew this movie wasn't going to be the greatest picture ever, since it  had practicallyno advertising it was only released into select theaters, but at the same time I actually liked it.  Look past the certain forgettable parts, and take part in the girl's insanity and fight for survival.
