I like the storyline of this show,it attract me so much

Simply A Masterpiece

Expected more

it is finally so absorbing because it plays like a lyrical road odyssey that’s also a detective story.

Of course coming back from a ten-year hiatus would leave anyone a little rusty, and this movie is far from perfect, but John Carpenter truly did a masterful job of depicting Kristen's (Alice's) internal fight against Dissociative Identity Disorder. Each of the girls: Sarah, Iris, Emily, Zoey, and ultimately Kristen represent a figment of Alice's Dissociative Identity Disorder that resulted from a childhood trauma. While there are some plot holes and things that wouldn't make sense by the end, the movie chronicles Alice's mental fight to gain control of her own mind and cope with the trauma she experienced as a child. As Kristen (the newest personality)'s fight to gain control over Alice results in the killing-off of Sarah, Iris, Emily, and Zoey, the movie ends with Alice "killing" Kristen and regaining control over her mind and the ability to move back home with her parents. To me, this movie makes a creative, and albeit entertaining (it has to be, it is a movie after all), glimpse into the mind of a character whose psyche fractured in response to a childhood trauma.

Well, sadly enough, it took me exactly 21 minutes of this movie to catch the twist. Obviously, I lost all interest in this movie right away because there was nothing new for me to discover any more. The whole movie is based around a twist that is in plain sight. This is not what you would expect from JC. I'm a big fan of his work, I've seen most of his movies and I fairly enjoyed all of them for what they were. Even the lesser known - The Fog and Prince of Darkness - all have that feel only JC can give you. Like, hell, even the Vampires had such a charm.This feels like it was directed by someone else and just had JC's name slapped onto it.

John Carpenter's The Ward isn't a particularly remarkable film, and it's certainly not a very scary one, but there are aspects that I really enjoyed, one of which being the excellent original score, which Carpenter actually didn't compose himself, for once. The film gets off to a great eerie start with opening credits that are the most evocative sequence of the whole thing, leading into the tale of one seriously disturbed chick (Amber Heard) who finds herself in a whacko mental institution, plagued by the ghost of a restless former patient. A befuddled Doctor (Jared Harris) knows more than he let's on, of course, and her fellow patients are similarly tormented by the phantom. Here's the thing: it's well plotted, acted and executed, save for one thing: it's never scary. Not once do the hairs on the back of your neck stand to attention, and a horror film should have that. I loved the psychological sudoku of an ending, but even there there was no creep factor to be found. Her fellow patients all have parts to play, including Danielle Panabaker, Laura Leigh Claire, Mamie Gummer and a standout Mika Boorem who steals the show from Heard right in the final act. Works as a thriller, padded with atmosphere here and there, but could have done with a better dose of chills to sweeten the deal.

I happened upon this movie a few years ago while browsing Netflix's horror/thriller genre. I'd just like to preface this by saying that I personally tend to find the plots and premises of horror movies really interesting (I don't really watch horror movies for the scare factor, however backwards or counter-intuitive that may sound). So, when I stumbled upon this movie, I of course had nothing better to watch at the time. I was not expecting much from an unknown Netflix b-movie. But holy cow. To someone with my inclinations, I found that this film was incredibly artful in its use of storytelling, to say the very least. It's very obvious that the horror is not the central theme of the film; in all honesty, you could probably remove that aspect altogether and still have an awesome film.The acting is good, though at times, it's a little over the top. Of course, Jared Harris is a great actor, but even the "unknowns" did well – I'd never seen Amber Heard before this movie, but she did well in her role. Mamie Gummer's character (and the way she played her) was really notable as well. The characters overall are relatively dynamic in the way they were written, but were brought to life by the actors. When I saw the bad reviews for this film, I couldn't help but be slightly appalled. I understand those who believe the story/plot to be unoriginal, and of course, there are things about this movie that are downright laughable at times. But I feel that it must be stated that the film is redeemed not by the originality of the story – rather, it's the way that the story is told that makes it great. It reminds me of what my Shakespeare professor used to say: "He wrote the most unoriginal plots, and he knew it. But you know, no one sees a Shakespeare play for the plot."Seriously. Watch it – all the way through, to the very end (even if you're not completely into it). You'll see what I mean. I'm usually very critical of the TV shows and the films that I watch, and even with its flaws, this film has merit.
