Gothika (2003)
Finally finished watching this film which I started Wednesday. You know the film isn’t worth anything really if it takes almost a week to finish it. Seeing a few minutes there, a couple of scenes then… but most of the times just turning it off again to do something else. Not that it’s one of the worst films made or anything like that. It just didn’t interest me on any level. It’s trying to be scary and it’s trying to be tricksy-smart. It’s neither. It’s trying to be dark and it’s trying to be moody. It’s cliché. And how Hally Berry could agree to star in this B-movie is beyond me. Not that I usually like her films – I think she’s kind of a mediocre actress – but at least she’s a big star and Academy Award winner.
He character is the psychologist working in a mental institution who one day wakes up one day locked away in that same institution after having murdered her husband. She goes on a quest to find the trust and cross paths with ghosts and serial killers on her way.
Not alone…
The “not alone” phrase is a recurring quote from this film, but all I keep thinking is: I’m NOT ALONE thinking this film should have never been made. I’m NOT ALONE thinking this is crap!

I remember you keep on wanting to see this movie everytime we go through my dvds. I guess I will probably never see it now… 🙂
