Gothika (2003) 5/10

Starring : Halle Berry, Robert Downey Jr, Charles S Dutton, John Carroll Lynch, Bernard Hill, Penelope Cruz
Director : Mathieu Kassovitz
Running Time : 95 mins

Dr Miranda Grey (Berry) is a criminal psychologist who is accused of murdering her husband and then looked up in the institution where she works. She has no memory of committing any crime and tries desperately to recall the events of which she’s been accused, but as she tries to remember she finds herself haunted by the ghost of a young girl.

This film just wasn’t really any good. Berry was rubbish as the tormented doctor, and the overall feel to the movie was just a little off track with how it should have been. If this had have been recast and handled differently, this might have been a more entertaining story.
