Pros: the acting, creepy setting, tense first half
Cons: boring second half, plodding and predictable

Pros: A fairly interesting concept for a film.
Cons: Does not feel at all like a Horror film and takes itself far too seriously.
Summary: When 'Gothika' came out in 2004 I went to see it in the first week of its release. It wouldn't have been my first choice of film, however a friend of mine had been looking forward to its release for some time and therefore I was dragged along to the ... read more

Pros: Very suspenseful and thrilling.
Cons: Not enough skin from Halle Berry ;-)
Summary: Gothika! I just watched this DVD for the first time ever yesterday. I was thinking with the name of the movie being "Gothika" it was about some weird wild gothic horror/ghost movie. It actually wasn't the only reason the title is Gothika. It is a ... read more

Pros: Suspenseful. The character "Rachael" played by Kathleen Mackey. Good cast.
Cons: Gaps and misleading avenues of thought.Misleading.
Summary: You have a very good cast here. Penelope Cruz, Halle Berry, Robert Downey Jr and more. So why didn't this suspenseful other worldly film gel? There certainly was suspense. There were a couple of times that I actually jumped. But that's because of ... read more

Pros: acting, story-text, some of the directing
Cons: some factual holes, some weird story-lines
Summary: Gothika came out last year, and was touted as the thriller of the year. It was directed by Mathieu Kassovitz and stars Halle Berry, Robert Downey Jr., Penelope Cruz, and Charles S. Dutton. The preview used the lag-line "Because someone is dead doesn't ... read more

Pros: Starts with a few good ideas
Cons: Pretty much everything, cast, director, story
Summary: I seem to be going through one of those phases where if a DVD is given to me I feel the urge to watch it. It doesn’t matter what the film is or whether I’ve heard people say its good or bad before. I just seem to be in a frame of mind where I will pretty ... read more

Cons: Horrrrrrific Story board and a horrible script
Summary: Its Gothika. Note: I would rather have 2 penises attached to my forehead than watch this trash again. HERE IS A 1 SENTENCE BASE-REVIEW ON THIS MOVIE: This movie is full of laugh-out-loud dialogue and setups that haven't been remotely ... read more

Pros: Halle Berry gives a performance worth watching.
Cons: This dark, eerie ghostly tale has been done before.
Summary: Gothika starts off as a spooky thriller revolving around Psychiatrist Miranda Grey (Halle Berry) who is treating patients at a Woodward Penitentiary which looks like something right out of a gothic Batman movie. The film begins ... read more

Pros: Good acting, some original plot twists. Mystery raises it above other horror movies. Not predictable.
Cons: The word "Gothika" does not appear throughout the movie at all.
Summary: Gothika may appear to be another standard hollywood scare-movie, but it holds some originality and a twisted plot that is not standard horror. Berry's performance as the central female character is acceptable, although not Oscar-winning. Originally a ... read more

Pros: Striking cinematography
Cons: Story makes no sense
Summary: A good genre film often seems deceptively simple, so it sometimes takes years of watching the inevitable disastrous remakes for the original to be fully appreciated. Die Hard, for example, performed well at the box office, but it wasn’t until Under Siege ... read more

Pros: acting, scenery, lighting (all effect mood well)
Cons: plot/story/script
Summary: Gothika is a film with so many twists and turns that at the end, I was at a lost of questions. Or quite simply, lost. Much praise can be given for the scenery, score, and acting, yet the story leaves much to be desired. The audience is never sure where ... read more

Pros: Decent acting, a couple of scenes might make some people jump
Cons: Predicable, formulaic, and unoriginal
Summary: When I first saw a preview for Gothika I thought it looked pretty good. Not so good that I would fight opening day crowds, but good enough that I wanted to see it in the theater. In spite of the mixed reviews this film received, I went to see it last ... read more

Pros: The suspense and the action are the key elements to the film
Cons: The plot gaps
Summary: I drag my friends to see Gothika, why? Because I am a person who loves horror films--all types and the previews looked enticing enough. So off we went to see the film, and overall, I was impressed. The videography of the film was great. Camera ... read more

Pros: a few good scares, visually impressive
Cons: bad dialogue, rough story with plenty of plot holes, uninspiring ending
Summary: There are many implausible events and unanswered questions in the new sleek-looking thriller, "Gothika." Would a prison psychiatrist accused of murder be locked up in the same facility as her former patients, forced to live, eat and shower with them? ... read more

Pros: Halle Berry, Penelope Cruz, One really tight black sweater.
Cons: Paranormal assistance is the only way this movie works.
Summary: This movie had its moments but for the most part it was a murder-mystery that needed paranormal assistance with its plotline. One might say that after the movies runtime of 95 minutes that it was nothing more than Halle Berry reprising Haley Joel Osment’ ... read more

Pros: Great SPFX, cinematography looks great
Cons: Poor acting, bad script
Summary: Anyone old enough to remember the TV series CIRCLE OF FEAR or NIGHT GALLERY? They were mid-70s show in the vein of Rod Serling's TWILIGHT ZONE but the little episodes were very predictable and formula. Usually, someone was murdered and, usually, their ... read more

Pros: Got all the right reactions from the audience.
Cons: I expect a bit more than "jump" scenes.
Summary: Gothika is not a bad movie. The problem is that it's not a really good movie either. Its just another "thriller/mystery/ghost story" in a long line of nearly identical films. The acting is well done, and the cast is made almost entirely of top-notch ... read more
