Gothika (2003)

A criminal psychologist awakens to find herself a patient in the institution where she works, with no memory of the murder she's accused of committing. As she tries to regain her memory - and her freedom - a vengeful spirit manipulates her. 

This is an awful film, full of plot holes and poor acting. The ending is sudden and unexpected and downright silly. Even the ghost does not understand the plot! The majority of scenes do lend themselves to a slightly uncomfortable mood, but most of the shocks are just the same old build up of dramatic music then the mandatory pop up scare. I love a good scary phsycological thriller but this one left me confused and laughing at the suddenness of the ending. I was left wondering if the producers had run out of money or something.The acting is cheesy and uninspiring. I don't even know what Downey's character had to do with the plot, it was as if he had paid somebody to be in it. This is an easily forgettable film!

I'll give it 1 out of 10 stars.
