Berry's acting talents can't save Gothika from its preposterous plot and bad dialogue.

The most interesting thing about this clunky, foolish horror flick -- in which everybody but the audience is constantly caught off-guard -- is Berry's scrappy wig. Go to Full Review Nell Minow Common Sense Media 12/24/2010

The killer may indeed be not guilty by reason of insanity, but Gothika is clearly guilty by reason of stupidity. Go to Full Review Stephanie Archer Film Inquiry 02/04/2024
While Gothika may not have stood the test of time, or even present the most plausible horror narrative, it delivers an eerie watch that fans of the genre can enjoy. Go to Full Review Mark H. Harris Black Horror Movies 01/03/2020
2.7/5
There's nothing particularly original, gory or scary about Gothika - a really weak "R" rating - but it's more or less competent. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Shawan L @ShawanLLibang Feb 5 Gothika is a loud, clueless wannabe thriller that thinks flinging jump scares at the screen counts as plot development. The story is so full of gaps you could steer an entire psychiatric ward through them, the "twists" announce themselves like they’re wearing neon signs, and the movie seems convinced the audience left its brain at home. Any hint of mood gets immediately sabotaged by sloppy cuts and screechy sound effects. Even the talented cast can’t rescue this empty, chaotic disaster that collapses under the weight of its own nonsense. See more Kyle H @RT40047460 Nov 27 I loved Gothika. An overall must see horror film. It was very enjoyable for those classic horror fans! See more Lesley G @RT80016292 Nov 18 Apart from the bad set design, a brilliant film & amazing acting. See more thiago s @Thiagostone Nov 5 Filme fraco, o roteiro é fraco, as cenas são fracas, a história é fraca, o elenco é fraco, e ninguém ajuda a melhorar o filme, os personagens são fracos, e o filme deveria ter cenas bem melhores e relevantes, para fazer o filme ser bom See more Calvin T @Calvin504 Oct 26 Good but I don't get what made her forget why she killed him....memory loss or what?? See more Brooke L @RT51485513 Jun 19 The acting in this movie is honestly what submerges you into the film along with the colors and it just has an all around nostalgic early 2000s feeling for me that I enjoy See more Read all reviews
