The master of horror director John Carpenter returned to feature films after a decade break with the horror thriller The competent but commonplace Ward
It was rather disappointing because it is too late to see a decline in some of the horror master filmmakers in the 1970s. Wes Craven, George A. Romero and John Carpenter were three kinds of the most influential directors of the 1970s and 1980s with films like The Last House on the Left, Halloween, The Hills Have Eyes, Dawn of the Dead and A Nightmare on Elm Street, coming out at that time. These guys are legends to life, so it is sad to see that work is not only smaller than their talents, but never mind their names do not even deserve to be involved.
Horror legend John Carpenter made a great film since 1980
Although Wes Craven's Scream 4 was an excellent return to form by the director, his pet project, my Seoul for the implementation of the first film he wrote fifteen years, and the project, has spent more than three years of his life, a tragic fire, easily one of the worst films of 2010. Romero, who sputtered away into oblivion after the dark half of 1993, returned in recent years, three other films Dead, each one worse than the previous. His latest, Survival of the Dead, was so deadly boring that even the zombies have been interesting at this time.
And then there's John Carpenter, who made classics like Halloween, Assault on Precinct 13, the fog and the Thing (later changed to remake all the poor, not only the same thing that Carpenter's 1950 film re-edited the less). But at the end of 1980, his films also began to dismantle the quality, and the only film that has done more worthy of the last twenty years, 'Mouth of Madness has been underestimated. Before we forget Ghosts of Mars, Memoirs of Invisible Man, and an unusually rigid in his remake of Village of the Damned, the better. When Ghosts of Mars, was released in 2001, Carpenter took a break, and after seven or eight years, it seemed unlikely, the most important man ever to return to the function of director's chair film.The Ward is better than its films last year, but it lacks the carpenter John Touches
Ten years later, finally has a new movie, and there's good news and bad news. The good news is that Carpenter really lost his touch, and all its flaws and problems, and Ward is his best film since the Mouth of Madness, and is certainly much better than the above disaster, Take my soul and Survival of the Dead. The bad news is that the film is very nice, and out of mind, and, finally, lacked any detectable John Carpenter's signature touches. Any competent horror film would be able to make this film. All actors in the production of music is fine, but it is almost too smooth for the good alone.
Amber Heard directs a cast of new faces as Kristen, a young woman sentenced to an indeterminate time in a psychiatric facility in Oregon, to the 1966th She makes friends with four others at the clinic, but soon discovers all disappear without a trace. Kristen tells a former prisoner ghost wanders the corridors, and could be the one to blame for the disappearances.
Filled with solid performance and great fear, and Ward is a competent horror
The area is fun while it lasts, at least half a dozen shocks, torsion and an end, but a bit ridiculous, it is legitimate to wonder. The performances are all solid, especially by Amber Heard, who seems to be one of the busiest young actresses in Hollywood today. Mamie Gummer, Meryl Streep's daughter gets her juicy role in a film here again, but unfortunately it does not leave much of an impression. The other three actresses, Danielle Panabaker, Laura Leigh, and Lyndsy Fonseca by-side under-written roles.
It is simply not enough excitement or originality in the area to recommend one to see it in theaters. If you are a fan of horror, and a fan of Carpenter, however, do not worry, it's not a big disappointment, it could have been. Always, however, since the main man took a break of one year, it seems appropriate to have foreseen something extraordinary, not just competent.
