First Look: John Carpenter’s THE WARD

Hat-tip goes to CinemaBlend for this first look at “Master of Horror” John Carpenter’s THE WARD. The 3 photos originally appeared on the Toronto International Film Festival’s website. Additional ones also appeared on the film’s Facebook page.

TIFF’s Description:

When an old farmhouse is set ablaze by Kristen (Amber Heard), a distraught young woman, she is taken by police to the North Bend Psychiatric Hospital. She awakens in a special ward with four similarly unbalanced and wayward girls: Sarah, a flirty and sass-talking know it all; Iris, a sensitive and talented artist who tries to make her feel welcome; Emily, a reckless but playful outcast; and Zoey, who hides behind a childlike persona and her beloved stuffed bunny.

Kirsten’s therapist, Dr. Stringer (Jared Harris), tries to uncover the root cause of her breakdown, but despite his calm and understanding manner, she resists any attempts at help and rehabilitation.

Unfortunately, the hospital is not the sanctuary it seems to be. Kristen begins to have strange run-ins with a shadowy phantom who roams the halls when the ward is locked down at night. Persistent and inquisitive, she goes digging for information about former patients and soon becomes convinced that no one ever leaves the ward alive.

The Ward marks a resurgence in director John Carpenter’s celebrated stylistic mojo, with his trademark prowling camera, jump scares, and the sort of atmospherics that typified The Fog and Prince of Darkness.

Set in the sixties, the film’s tone and style have much in common with the works of one of horror’s great, under-recognized masters, Val Lewton, while also nodding in the direction of Samuel Fuller’s cult classic Shock Corridor. Led by previous Midnight Madness starlet Amber Heard, the titular lead from All the Boys Love Mandy Lane, Carpenter’s cast of locked-up bad girls brings the picture to life.

THE WARD is Carpenter’s return to form after a decade-long absence, further proof that he deserves the mainstream critical respect and recognition of an American auteur.

From a screenplay by Michael Rasmussen and Shawn Rasmussen, THE WARD will be shown at TIFF on September 13 and 19. For more on Carpenter’s film, like it on Facebook and visit the website here.

First Official Still from ‘The Crazies’ Remake

crazies-poster1

The remake to George Romero’s ’73 ‘The Crazies’ is one of those rare instances where I am actually glad they are remaking it.   Romero’s original is creepy and very good, but it is not a perfect film by a long shot.   It’s the type of film whose story, I’m sure, will benefit greatly with an update.

Today, we bring you the first, official still from the film.   It features star Timothy Olyphant looking beat up and worried.

Check it out:

Alongside Olyphant, the film also stars Danielle Panabaker, Radha Mitchell, Joe Anderson, and a whole bunch of crazy people.   It comes out on September 25th.

Danielle Panabaker in new ‘Friday the 13th’

For fans of Shark, Danielle Panabaker has signed on to play the female lead in the new Friday the 13th movie …

Yahoo gives us this:

“The New Line project, an update of the popular series featuring the goalie mask-wielding killer Jason, already features Jared Padalecki (the CW’s “Supernatural”) in the cast.

Panabaker will play an adventurous, athletic type, whose boyfriend (played by Travis van Winkle, “Meet the Spartans”) is a rich alpha-male type.

Also joining the cast like lambs to the slaughter are Aaron Yoo (“Disturbia”), as a quirky guy who has a tendency to wear his attraction to pretty girls on his sleeve, and Jonathan Sadowski (the upcoming “Spring Breakdown”) as a techie who knows the horrific history of Camp Crystal Lake, the film’s infamous setting. Marcus Nispel (“The Texas Chainsaw Massacre”) is directing.”
