Gothika **1/2

Cast: Halle Berry, Robert Downey Jr, Charles S. Dutton, John Carroll Lynch, Bernard Hill, Penelope Cruz
Director: Mathieu Kassovitz

Dr. Miranda Grey is a psychologist at a dark and dreary mental asylum. After an accident, she wakes to find that she is now one of the patients there. She has committed a crime that she does not remember and is now haunted by a young blonde girl. Gothika provides some creepy moments, but not enough. The three big name leads of the movie do as much as they can with what they have to work with, but the story doesn't always make the most sense. A little fine tuning of the script could have gone a long way.
