Amber Heard as: Kristen Additional Cast: Danielle Panabaker, Mamie Gummer Production Status: Post-production Release Date: September 24, 2010 Directed By: John Carpenter Screenwriter: Michael & Shawn Rasmussen Genre: Horror MPAA Rating: n/a Kristen (Amber Heard), a beautiful but troubled young woman, finds herself bruised, cut, drugged, and held against her will in a remote ward of a psychiatric hospital. She is completely disoriented, with no idea why she was brought to this place and no memory of her life before being admitted. All she knows is that she isn't safe. The other patients in the ward, four equally disturbed young women, offer no answers, and Kristen quickly realizes things are not as they seem. The air is heavy with secrets, and at night, when the hospital is dark and foreboding, she hears strange and frightening sounds. It appears they are not alone. One-by-one the other girls begin to disappear and Kristen must find a way out of this hellish place before she, too, becomes a victim. As she struggles to escape, she will uncover a truth far more dangerous and horrifying than anyone could have imagined.

"The Ward is the kind of script that I've been looking for: a complex, visceral story, full of suspense and scares. I am especially pleased to be working with Amber because I know she will create a powerful central performance."
- John Carpenter

"I'm working with a horror legend, which is great for me because clearly it's a genre I love. And I couldn't be more honored to be working with somebody who's made a name for himself doing this genre, and it's a good script. It's a fantastic story and having just shot it, I have nothing but high hopes for it because it can be fantastic."
- Amber Heard

"My character is arrested and thrown into an institution in the '60s. She meets all of these other characters and things start happening in the institution. You have to second-guess your main character, me, because she is in a mental institution. There are a lot of things that are coming in and out of the story and you don't know what to think. It's pretty intense. The film's in post-production and it will hopefully honor the script, but it was fantastic and a thrilling story."
