This movie is AWESOME
One of the spookiest movies I have seen in a long time, Halle Berry nailed the performance. The whole movie is pretty much shot in the dark which adds to the suspence and sence of supernatural. Would recommend this movie for any scary movie buff.

It's Ok...only ok.
The movie starts out pretty good and I thought I was in for original suspense thriller, I mean things certainly started out creepy enough. But as the film went along it quickly turned into a cliche filled "I'm trapped in a mental institution but I'm really sane but no one believes me cause I'm in a mental institution" type movie. There were some very noticable plot holes and certain things just make no sense at all. Like why does this spirit "ask" Halle Berry for help then beats the crap out of her? Why does the spirit unlock the door for her to get out of her cell, then scare her nearly getting her caught by the guards? It just seems like they needed to throw in scenes of the ghost girl lunging at the screen and decided to just put it in for a jump even if it makes no sense at all. Other things that were just thrown in to make the story move forward was the guard actually handing Halle the keys to his car and not ratting her out to the others that were looking for her, you can practially hear the writers wondering how they could get Halle to the house thus finding out about the cabin et al. But just made no sense. Overall, this movie is ok, some good creepy scenes but far from intelligent.

Gothi - HUH
Dr. Miranda Grey (goddess Halle Berry) was a top psychologist until she murdered Fat Albert. After an encounter with a strange girl in the rain, Grey supposedly went mental and became a patient in the ward. Of course, "Gothika" takes place in an extremely dark place where lights don't exist and people have that one-eyed pirate stare. The token buddy (Robert Downey Jr.) doesn't add much to the movie either. Well, I don't want to give away too much information because it's predictable enough even for a ten year-old to figure out. The movie reminded me of "What Lies Beneath" and it actually has a couple of boo-yah! scenes. If you're a hardcore fan of the horror genre, you might like this. But, if you're an amateur that scares easily, I recommend you don't wear white pants because by the end of the movie you might be wearing brown pants. Chocolate pudding... Doh!
