The title of Gothika prepares you for a spooky, atmospheric thriller with an emphasis on supernatural mystery. The best way to appreciate the movie itself is to understand that it's a waking nightmare that needn't make sense in the realm of sanity. Making a flashy Hollywood debut after his superior 2000 thriller Crimson Rivers, French actor-director Mathieu Kassovitz pours on the dark and stormy atmosphere, trapping a competent psychologist (Halle Berry) in the prison ward where she treated inmates (including Penelope Cruz) until she was committed for killing her husband (Charles S. Dutton), who was also her boss. Did a car crash cause her to suffer ghostly delusions, or is a young girl--dead for four years--sending clues from beyond the grave? Berry has to prove her innocence while Kassovitz keeps everything--including the viewer and costar Robert Downey Jr. (as Berry's colleague)--in the dark about just where the nonsensical plot is leading. There's a better movie in here somewhere, among the catwalks and crannies of the impressive prison-castle setting, and Berry gives 100% in a performance that's consistent with the movie's overwrought tone. Attentive viewers will identify the killer early on, and the ending is anticlimactic, but Gothika serves up a few good shocks for ghost-story connoisseurs. --Jeff Shannon

 Gothika January 7, 2010
Arnita D. Brown (USA)
A brilliant and respected criminal psychologist, Dr. Miranda Grey is an expert at knowing what is rational. What is logical. What is sane. Under the direction of her husband, the chief administrator of the psychiatric ward at the Woodward Penitentiary for Women, Miranda treats dangerously disturbed patients like Chloe, an intensely charismatic murderess whose confessions of satanic torture are dismissed by the judicious doctor as the psychotic meanderings of a paranoid mind. This movie is an intense thrill ride, overall a great movie.
Gothika (Widescreen Edition) (2003)-Not Alone! August 6, 2009
Keith Mirenberg (www.spaceanimations.org)
Gothika (2003) was an interesting film that I rate at three to four stars. I remember first hearing about this movie when it was being advertised on billboards in Manhattan. These made a visual impression on me causing me to make a mental note to see this film. By the time I followed up the film must have left theaters making me think it was not well received. I subsequently saw the DVD and thought it was an interesting film making several well taken points along its fanciful way concerning the advantage that can be taken of the loss of credibility of mental patients as witnesses to a true crime.
The tale was a ghost story, but never entirely clear about what was real and what was imagined since we watched it through the eyes of a person believed to be criminally insane. Visually, I felt it had good atmosphere, was well filmed, nicely acted out, and rapidly paced leaving no time for looking back. The sets for the insane asylum were also very effective, convincing and frightening. There were enough blinking lights filmed to throw many people into a seizure (and give me a headache) which also probably added to the audiences feeling of being on edge. I think this was a good horror story and you may look at the reviews of others if you want to know what the story was about in any detail. By the way, the color and lighting was monochromatic blue for most scenes in the asylum, just like the billboard and DVD jacket.
 GREAT DVD! May 17, 2009

 Disc Freezes & 2 Movies!?!? March 19, 2009
Janine Hansen
It got here in plenty of time, but by the time I watched it, I was sad knowing it was too late to return it. The disc froze the end of one chapter into the beginning of the next at a real integral part of the movie! I also wasn't expecting two movies in one when I got Queen of the Damned on the flip side, but hey I'll never complain about a free movie...
