The Ward (2010)

 
 
In 1966, in North Bend, Oregon, the runaway young girl Kristen (Amber Heard) is captured by the police after burning down a farmhouse and is locked in the North Bend Psychiatric Hospital. There she meets fellow inmates Emily, Sarah, Zoey and Iris and they are terrorized by a ghost. Turns out that the ghost is the key to uncover the truth and solve the mystery. Another disappointment work from cult director John Carpenter. The plot borrows heavily from thrillers such as Shutter Island and Identity. The patients are too cute and too beautiful. The eerie atmosphere is nowhere to be found. So just skip this one.
