Skip it. 'Gothika' is a mid-2000s ghost-in-the-machine thriller that the critics rightfully panned—the plot twists don't land, the supernatural stuff feels tacked on, and even Halle Berry can't save this mess. Unless you're specifically hunting for so-bad-it's-entertaining horror, your night is better spent elsewhere.

Plot

After a car crash, criminal psychologist Dr. Miranda Grey regains consciousness only to find that she's a patient in the same mental institution that currently employs her. She's been accused of murdering her husband Dr. Douglas Grey — but she has no memory of committing the crime. As she tries to regain her memory and convince her co-worker, Dr. Pete Graham, of her innocence, a vengeful spirit uses her as an earthly pawn, which further convinces everyone of her guilt.

Director: Mathieu Kassovitz

Cast: Halle Berry, Robert Downey Jr., Charles S. Dutton, John Carroll Lynch, Bernard Hill
