Gothika (2003)


Ghost story in which a repressed female psychiatrist wakes up as a patient in the very asylum where she worked with no memory of why she is there and what she has done.

A horror thriller with a senseless plot and made like a fast-paced action movie, the stars are wasted amidst the mess.

Halliwell (no star): "Lurid, overblown horror with unconvincing supernatural trimmings."

Maltin *1/2: "Take an earnest Berry, add a senseless script and misguided direction, and you get this horror/suspense/supernatural thriller/murder mystery/SNAKE PIT hodgepdoge."
