Day #12
The Ward
(2010)
It’s 1966 and an amnesiac is committed to a mental institution after being found burning down a house. However, she soon finds out that the ghost of her room’s previous occupant is haunting the ward and picking off its occupants one by one.
Fright Factor:
2.5 / 5 Examples of 1960s Medicine
Gore Factor:
3 / 5 Shock Therapy Incidents
Should you watch it?
From a technical standpoint it does a lot of things I really liked, but from a story perspective? Terrible.
I don’t even know what else to say. The writing was far from the best, but it was within acceptable levels for a horror movie. It was well shot, had some characters I really liked, a creepy setup, great costumes, and it all leads to an ending that makes you wonder if you can get a refund on that hour and a half of your life.
Also, dear 1960’s medicine, WTF is the matter with you?
“Look at me!”
“Sorry, I don’t converse with loonies.”
