Movie Review
Halle Berry has gone from Oscar-winning lover-of-Billy Bob Thornton to Bond girl to white-haired mutant, and now is branching into new territory with a horror movie. I don't know if I like the trend, and it is hard to tell whether I liked Gothika, either, a film with a few reasonable scares but not much else. Full movie review »

April 10, 2004This movie was a big dissapointment. It was just a mix of the sixth sense and what lies beneath, it didnt really stand out. there wasnt any suspense and not many scary parts, it was so easy to figure out i figured out the whole plot in the first 20 minutes. if you want to be scared out of your mind skip this movie, if you want a moderately suspenseful unscary movie than this is the movie for you. i made my friend watch it who hates scary movies, and she said "thats it?" oh yeah i dont get the title, it has nothing to do with the movie at all.

March 1, 2004Although yes some parts were predictable, you have to admit that Halle in GOTHIKA was very very good! I mean I wish scary movies were part of the oscars, because there are some really good scary movies! GOTHIKA was one of those really good ones!

December 18, 2003I found the movie to be utterly predictable and formulaic, as did many reviewers. My only problem is that I had to leave the theater right before the ending of the movie and believe it or not, I want to know the ending. What was it?

November 19, 2003The ending of this film was a surprise shocker. I did not expect it to end the way it did. It was also creepier than I thought it was going to be. Halle Barry did an amazing acting job!
