A young girl named Kristen (Amber Heard) awakens in a psychiatric hospital after setting a farmhouse ablaze, and finds herself stalked by a malevolent ghost in this psychological shocker from celebrated horror director John Carpenter (Halloween). Badly battered and seemingly stricken with amnesia, Kristen forges a fragile friendship with fellow patients Sarah (Danielle Panabaker), Iris (Lyndsy Fonseca), Emily (Mamie Gummer), and Zoey (Laura-Leigh) as her compassionate therapist, Dr. Stringer (Jared Harris), works to uncover the source of her mysterious condition. Later, at night, when the lights in her remote ward go dim, Kristen is confronted by an imposing phantom that seems intent on dragging her screaming into the darkness. Eventually, the other girls in the ward begin to vanish, one by one. Now, the harder Kristen fights to avoid falling prey to her shadowy pursuer, the more convinced she becomes that no patient who's checked in to North Bend Psychiatric Hospital ever comes out alive. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

VERY GOOD movie. It really deserves more credit than it got. Amber Heard gives a wonderful performance (as usual). This movie has parts of "Girl Interrupted" w/a ghostly twist thrown in. Speaking of twist-I surely didn't see this one coming. Honestly best horror show I've seen in quite some time.

This plot has been used over and over again, time to try again. This one wasn't to bad, but I sort of figured it out by the end.

I'm a big John Carpenter fan and he did a great job directing here. One of his better efforts i think. The acting was also well done. The story was ok with a twist that i didn't see coming. Kudos for avoiding some tired stereotypes. The orderly wasn't a perv, and the 'nurse wasn't a Ratchet (a near miss). Yet somehow the total was not as good as the parts. This was a decent flick worth the rental.

If those parents could afford a place like that for one patent they could have afforded a brain transplant for the girl instead. Good if one likes screaming chicks and no redemption, otherwise-

I was able to rent this through I Tunes, and John Carpenter does it again, The master of Horror. This movie is all about the human mind, and what we do to forget. This is a psychological thriller. Amber Heard is turning out to be one this generations great actresses. I highly recommend this to any horror fan. You expect nothing but the best from John Carpenter and he delivers.
