Good Points

Oh... were there some? I must have missed that! The credits were quite good because that meant the film was over.

Bad Points

Halle Berry, the plot, the fact that this film actually got made.

General Comments

Gothika - I went into this film with an open mind. I knew the press for it hadn't been great but I always prefer to see for myself. Why didn't I listen to all the critics who tried to save me from this nightmare? Halle Berry plays a psychiatrist who, after a horrendous car accident, wakes to find herself a patient at her very own hospital. She's then told that she murdered her husband and then there's this pesky ghost that just won't leave her alone. This film really makes very little sense. Halle Berry is dreadful and I found myself wondering how this woman ever won an Academy Award. I'd hate you to think that I'm one of these hyper-critical people who doesn't like anything - I do! And I have nothing against silly but enjoyable horror movies but this is just a BAD film. Bad, bad, bad. It's not even enjoyably bad, it's just bad. Avoid like the plague.
