Fresh off her role in "Friday the 13th," Danielle Panabaker will be joining John Carpenter's "The Ward," which also stars Amber Heard. Michael and Shawn Rasmussen wrote the script, with Jim Agnew and Sean Keller rewriting it.

The Hollywood Reporter reports that film tells of a girl (Heard) who is admitted to a psychiatric ward. While there, she meets other girls there with distinct personalities and discovers a mysterious girl haunting the halls at night.

Panabaker plays a patient in the institution, a snobbish girl who flirts with orderlies and faces electroshock therapy.
