Gothika (2003)
Directed by Mathieu
Kassovitz this film stars Halle Barry, Robert Downy Jr., Bernard Hill
and Penelope Cruz. After a car accident a psychiatrist awakes as a
prisoner in the jail she works at and finds herself accused of the
murder of her husband.
Everything here is
pretty much par for the course in this standard genre piece. Some of
the plot in the final part of the film does seem a bit of a stretch
but when we you have a story dealing with the supernatural you
probably have to expect a bit of that anyway. Mostly the film relies
on jump scares rather than anything more creepy and insidious so this
is not a horror film that really gets under your skin.
3/5
