stupidest movie I've seen in a long time.
I HATED THIS MOVIE. It is one of those ones that you keep watching because you think it may get better and it never does... stupid plot - too many holes and stupid ending.

The Pits. Avoid at all costs. Boycott.
I DETEST this movie. This is COMPLETE OVERWROUGHT HORSE PUCKY.

I can't say this is 90 minutes I'll never get back, because I fast-forwarded through a lot of the last half.

If you like lots of shock cuts, and LOTS AND LOTS OF SCREAMING you might enjoy.

Even the always entertaining Robert Downey can't bring any light to this.

Movies that use mental patients in confinement with a supernatural twist have no class, but this is worse. This throws in sadistic rapists. Not one but two.

But the way the film uses the pretense of being in sympathy with the abused is just completely revolting.

Boycott this movie. Trash. Trash. Trash. Trash. Cr*p. Cr*p. Cr*p. I can't express how much I dislike this. Words Fail. Ebert, what were you thinking?

At least it's scary...
'Gothica' succeeds in scaring the daylights out of the viewer, but in delivering a smart and plausible thriller it lacks a little. 'Gothica' remains dark and ominous throughout it's timeframe, delivering chills and jumps and skin crawling effects at a non-stop almost brutal pace, but when it all breaks down in the final frames I'm almost left a little bitter. The film follows Miranda (Berry), a psychologist, as she's accused of murdering her husband and boss (Charles S. Dutton) and placed in the same asylum she works at. Her workmate and friend (Downey Jr.) is trying to believe her story of ghosts and such but is finding that task very hard. Why did she kill her husband and why is this bitter young girl, dead four years now, trying to hurt her? The film, as I said, follows a breathtakingly brutal pace, giving you one spook after another, and even after all is revieled I was still, while slightly jaded, happy non-the-less in the fact that this film was actually scary, but the final frames, when Berry's charactor has to do the right thing and exact vengence it's just really lame. Despite, up until the corny effects and lame ending it's still well worth the watch if not for the freak-factor that lines each frame like cobwebs line the frame of your house. The acting is also a nice touch, especially since most horror films contain terrible actors, but the likes of Berry, Dutton, Downey Jr and Cruz are all top-notch, especially Cruz who embodies her role and really convinces you she's insane...or maybe not. Oh yeah, and why the crap is Fred Durst siging the theme song to this movie? That's a mood killer!
