Review of Gothika (2003) by David B — 22 Jun 2011
It's not as much horror as it is a thriller. The "scares" in the film you can see coming; it's very predicdable. The main thing the movie need was a convincing lead role, and Halle Berry gives an honest effort but it comes of fake and over dramatic.
The supporting actors, Robert Downey Jr. and Penelope Cruz, move the plot forward, but they just seen to say the lines and walk off set. They don't seem intetested at all. While the plot twist at the end I did not think would happen, the rest of them you see coming and do nothing to add to the story.
You can skip this sub-par "horror" film.
