This to me didn't seem like a particularly John Carpenter-ish film. It was far too predictable for one thing, and Carpenter can usually construct a rather good storyline.
The premise is that a girl is taken to the psychiatric hospital after setting fire to a house and watching it burn to the ground. Here she meets an assortment of characters and tries to plot with them to escape whilst constantly maintaining her innocence. It's fairly nervy and jumpy and does deliver some scares but the ending is just so ridiculous it's like they ran out of ideas and just stuck the first idea on there that they could think of. It made no sense whatsover and din't explain anything. Heard plays well, but not well enough to cover up the fact that Carpenter could have done better.
