Mr. Carpenter manages to overcome all of the setbacks to churn out something half decent - That in itself is pretty thrilling to watch.

The horror master's first film in nine years is not the comeback we had wished.

The shocks mostly consist of figures suddenly rising up in the background, or thunderclaps from a seemingly endless thunderstorm.

An aggressively plain spook story that favors jump moments over sustained tension and winds up falling back on a particularly tired twist.

Carpenter's economical but mundane chiller is possessed more by previous ghoul-friend flicks than it is by his better work.

The Ward should send some chills down your spine, but it probably won't stay with you.

The Ward, while not stellar by any means, is absolutely worth your time.

John Carpenter has made his first unintentional comedy.

The Ward might not bode too well for Carpenter's come back, but he did do good things with what he had to work with (clichéd story and script).

The movie's fluidity of motion is intoxicating. It's hard to argue that the so-so material is up to [Carpenter's] highest standards, but it can also be easily forgiven, and even enjoyed.
July 08, 2011
Carpenter has made his approximation of a cheap, twisty, shock-filled modern horror movie, and he has lost all but faint sighs of his minimalist swagger in the process.
July 08, 2011
A dull, by-the-numbers psych-ward horror thriller that's sadly a lot closer in quality to "Sucker Punch" than "Shutter Island."
