Why it’s HorroRated
Gothika gets underestimated because it was marketed as a glossy studio thriller. Halle Berry's performance is raw and the film builds a sustained paranoid atmosphere that earns its supernatural elements. Mathieu Kassovitz directs with more confidence than the premise might suggest. More effective than its reputation implies.
Synopsis
A ghost and a fellow inmate and her own fractured memory all point toward something the institution would prefer to contain. Halle Berry plays the disorientation as physical as well as psychological and Mathieu Kassovitz directs with more confidence than the premise might suggest. More effective than its reputation implies.
