The Ward

Heard plays Kristen, a disturbed young woman, in this horror thriller directed by John Carpenter. After setting fire to a farmhouse, Kristen wakes up in a psychiatric institution and soon finds the institution to be haunted by evil ghosts. Co-starring Mamie Gummer. On comparing the film to other horror films:

There’s something nice and valuable and wonderful about the suspense and the classic horror that doesn’t just crutch on blood and the almost pornographic view of fear.
