The Ward (2010)

I have to admit that I was pleasantly surprised by how entertaining "The Ward" was. It's not a great film by any means and I was completely uninterested in it for the first 20 minutes or so but luckily it picks up and kept me curious until the end. The cast includes Jared Harris (Resident Evil: Apocalypse) and Danielle Panabaker (Friday the 13th, The Crazies).

Kristen is taken to a mental ward after she is caught burning down a barn. She doesn't remember why or even doing it. At the ward she meets for other girls who really don't seem like they belong in a mental institution. Kristen also begins to see a ghost. No one believes her until this ghost begins to kill of the other girls one by one. Will Kristen be able to save any of them...or herself?

SPOILERS AHEAD


Favorite moment - I really enjoyed the reveal at the end if the movie. It explains why the girls acted like they did, meaning that they didn't have to necessarily be crazy or seem that way. The movie feels a lot a like "Identity" because it used the multiple personality twist.
