MOVIE REVIEWS - Gothika
Movie Rental Release: 'Gothika' Movie
Review
by C. Bailey-Lloyd/LadyCamelot
 "Gothika,"
starring Halle Berry, Robert Downey, Jr., Charles S. Dutton,
John Carroll Lynch, Bernard Hill, Penelope Cruz and Dorian
Harewood; is a spellbinding film!
Some critics have entirely missed the context of this
storyline, and have given this movie a bad review, I beg
to differ. "Gothika," the newest production
from Dark Castle Entertainment is the culmination of clairvoyance
and poltergeist entertwined into one spectacular ride
of an individual's innermost emotions and physical reactions.
Halle Berry stars as Miranda Grey, a criminal psychologist
working in Woodward Penitentiary for Women. Counseling
"Chloe," (played by Penelope Cruz), Dr. Grey,
in her medical expertise, does not fully grasp Chloe's
rantings and ravings. As she leaves work on a stormy night,
she runs off an embankment, avoiding a nude girl standing
in the rainsoaked highway.
Coming to her senses, she awakens to find herself as an
inmate in Woodward, herself. Dr. Pete Graham (Robert Downey,
Jr.) another staff psychiatrist and coworker of Grey,
attempts to decipher Miranda's mindset and how she violently
'murdered' her own husband, Douglas (Charles S. Dutton)
in the preceding three days. Having no recollection of
the ensuing events after her car accident, Miranda is
traumatized and nearly catatonic.
An unlikely friend, Chloe helps Dr. Grey to realize that
neither of the two are insane, but are driven by an outside
force beyond one's wildest imagination. As an open channel
to clairvoyance and a medium to spiritual entities, Miranda
soon discovers her husband's deep, dark secret.
A rivoting film that will leave you breathless and enlightened
to clairvoyance in its most harrowing form. I rate this
movie 3.5 Stars.
