The Ward The film The Ward was Carpenters first film since 2001.

It was released in 2011.

This film featured a psychological sense as well as a horror theme. I feel this film had a great influence on creating my own film because It has given me the idea to base my film about visions and mental health. The Ward consists of a woman who had been entered into a psychiatric facility, and she believes that a dead patient who used to stay there, is haunting her. When in reality, the character has many split personalities due to a traumatic experience in her past.

I felt this film could be used as an influence because I like the way the ending has a twist to it. Something the audience wouldn't’t have guessed and therefore can come under a psychological thriller as it plays a trick on the audience.
