The title of Gothika prepares you for a spooky, atmospheric thriller with an emphasis on supernatural mystery. The best way to appreciate the movie itself is to understand that it's a waking nightmare that needn't make sense in the realm of sanity. Making a flashy Hollywood debut after his superior 2000 thriller Crimson Rivers, French actor-director Mathieu Kassovitz pours on the dark and stormy atmosphere, trapping a competent psychologist (Halle Berry) in the prison ward where she treated inmates (including Penelope Cruz) until she was committed for killing her husband (Charles S. Dutton), who was also her boss. Did a car crash cause her to suffer ghostly delusions, or is a young girl--dead for four years--sending clues from beyond the grave? Berry has to prove her innocence while Kassovitz keeps everything--including the viewer and costar Robert Downey Jr. (as Berry's colleague)--in the dark about just where the nonsensical plot is leading. There's a better movie in here somewhere, among the catwalks and crannies of the impressive prison-castle setting, and Berry gives 100% in a performance that's consistent with the movie's overwrought tone. Attentive viewers will identify the killer early on, and the ending is anticlimactic, but Gothika serves up a few good shocks for ghost-story connoisseurs. --Jeff Shannon

Rating:  - Horrible
The story has a great concept i'll admit but the acting and such are just bad. why amazon recommended this to me i don't know.
Rating:  - Makes the hair on the back of my neck stand up even afterward
"Gothika" doesn't seem to be a fitting title for this film, but the story truly is gothic. After a car crash, Dr. Miranda Grey (Berry) awakens a prisoner in the forensic mental hospital where she formerly worked. She's accused of killing her husband and boss (Dutton), but cannot recall.
This is a very atmospheric and tense thriller. One of Berry's best performances to date and haunting to say the least. Strongly recommend you do not watch this on a dark and stormy night.

Gothica is one of those movies that I was intrigued by the first time I saw the commercial, missed at the theatre, then walked past at least a dozen times at the rental store because for some reason it just didn't grab me any more. Well, I finally ... Read More
Rating: - Nonsense. Neither scary nor suspenseful.
The plot is nonsense. The movie is nether scary nor suspenseful.
It's a waste of time and money.
Rating: - DISC PROBLEM
The purchase was smooth. However this is the second HD movie of the same title that has had playback problems. The movie pauses at certain sections of the movie. Amazon sent me a new one to replace the first one and the NEW one did the exact same thing. I even called Toshiba and they said that there is nothing wrong with my player...it has to be a software problem with that particular movie. So if anyone has this movie on HD beware!
