The doors to The Ward open with an official website

Has it almost been ten years since John Carpenter last made a feature film? He did direct two episodes of Masters of Horror [Cigarette Burns, Pro-Life] in that period of time. The official website for his new film opened its doors, and there is some behind-the-scenes footage, video diaries, and a section where you can ask John a question. The Ward is eyeing a release date of 2011.

Check out my recent interview with John where we looked back on his film Prince of Darkness.

“Kristen, a beautiful but troubled young woman, 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.”
