Gothika Reviews
December 18, 2017
The most interesting thing about this clunky, foolish horror flick -- in which everybody but the audience is constantly caught off-guard -- is Berry's scrappy wig.

Berry struggles to retain some shards of dignity as she dutifully plods through the contrivances of Gothika.

The same story was told much more skillfully-and with a lot more scares-three years back, when it was called What Lies Beneath.

Grisly, disturbing, extremely violent horror film.

This shoddy B horror movie doesn't deserve a national theatrical run, much less the capable talent assigned to it.

The burning question I'm still asking myself: What does Gothika mean? Now that I think of it: I could care less.

Succeeds in making every plot twist more unbelievable and irrational than the last.

An ceaseless stream of Fake Scares, Dream Sequences, and Shrieking Halles.

Berry's grating screams might send you to looney land too.

Gothika est donc un autre film d'horreur qui semble sortir tout droit d'un programme crant des scnarios. Heureusement que l'on peut en rire.
Original Score: D+

... the 80-minute setup for the shock has nothing to do with engaging the deep-seated fears and emotions that really plague us all, at some level, every day.
Original Score: 0.5/4

A tense storyline and a well-realised performance from Berry make Gothika a nice addition, but there's nothing that stands-out to make it anything more.
Original Score: 60/100

Lights flashing on and off are not scary. Overweight cops with sexual problems are not scary. Both together? Not scary. Or even mildly entertaining.
