Poster Alert: John Carpenter's The Ward

The summer movie season just got a titch more interesting now that horror master John Carpenter's The Ward is landing July 8. It's Carpenter's first film in almost a decade and, athough buzz on this is mixed, it's a new Carpenter movie dammit! We have to care.

So gaze below at the new one sheet for the film, featuring star and hottie Amber Heard getting snatched by something evil. The film is described as follows:

Kristen, a beautiful but troubled young woman, who finds herself bruised, cut, drugged, and held against her will in a remote ward of a Psychiatric Hospital. She is completely disoriented, with no idea why she was brought to this place and no memory of her life before being admitted. All she knows is that she isn't safe.

The other patients in the ward, four equally disturbed young women, 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 frightening sounds. It appears they are not alone.

One-by-one the other girls begin to disappear and Kristen must find a way out of this hellish place before she, too, becomes a victim. As she struggles to escape, she will uncover a truth far more dangerous and horrifying than anyone could have imagined.

Sounds fine to me. We'll know more when the movie is released in about six weeks. And yes, Shawn and I will have our reviews ASAP!
