Plot

edit

Dr. Miranda Grey, a psychiatrist at Woodward Penitentiary in rural westernConnecticut, crashes her car one night on a country road to avoid hitting a young woman. When she awakens, she finds herself an inmate of the women's ward in which she works, receiving treatment from her colleague, Dr. Pete Graham. Pete reveals that her husband, Douglas, has been the victim of a brutalaxe murder, and she is the sole suspect. As Miranda attempts to adjust to life as an inmate, she is haunted by visions of the young woman she saw the night of the car accident, and is attacked by her apparition; the woman carves the phrase "Not Alone" into Miranda's arm, though hospital staff presume she isself-harming.

Miranda bonds with fellow inmate Chloe Sava, whom she treated before her incarceration. One night, she witnesses Chloe being raped and glimpses a tattoo of anAnima Sola on the perpetrator's chest, though the guards do not believe her. As time passes, she regains memories of the car accident. She identifies the mysterious woman as Rachel, the daughter of her superior, Dr. Phil Parsons, who had died in an apparentsuicide several years prior. Late one night, Miranda is attacked by Rachel's ghost and escapes the hospital. She returns to her home and observes the crime scene. This triggers vivid memories of Miranda committing Douglas's murder.

Miranda visits Douglas' rural farmhouse inRhode Island, hoping it will contain clues. In a cellar in the barn, she finds a blood-stained mattress, along with sedatives, restraints, and video recording equipment. One of the tapes is revealed to be asnuff film shot by Douglas, which shows him raping, torturing, and murdering a young woman. Police arrive, arresting Miranda and finding one of Douglas's victims, Tracey Seaver, still alive in the barn. Miranda realizes that Rachelpossessed her to carry out the act and avenge Rachel's own murder by Douglas.

Incarcerated in the county jail, Miranda speaks to Sheriff Bob Ryan, Douglas' best friend, about her belief that Rachel's suicide was staged and a second perpetrator was involved. Using her expertise as a psychiatrist, she constructs a psychological profile of the second perpetrator and realizes it is Ryan, who then attempts to inject her with a sedative. In the struggle, she tears at his shirt, revealing the Anima Sola tattoo on his chest. She turns the syringe on Ryan before fleeing. In a drugged state, he pursues her, telling her that Rachel was their first victim, and he and Douglas worked together to abduct, rape, and murder local women. Rachel's apparition appears and Ryan shoots at it, causing an explosion that sets him ablaze. Miranda shoots the burned Ryan to death. Moments later, Pete arrives to save her, having realized the truth.

A year later, Miranda, now freed, walks with Chloe, also released, on a city sidewalk. After Chloe leaves, Miranda sees a young boy on the road who is about to be struck by a fire truck. However, the fire truck passes right through him and she realizes he is only a ghost, failing to notice the "Missing" flyer of the boy.

Production

edit

The fourth feature film produced byDark Castle Entertainment,Gothika was the first to boast a high-profile leading cast, and was the company's largest-scale production at the time,[3] with a budget of approximately $40 million.[1]

Berry was partly inspired to take the role because her mother, a nurse, worked in a psychiatric hospital for decades.[4]

Filming took place inMontreal, Quebec, Canada in the spring of 2003.[5] Shooting of Berry's sequences was temporarily halted for several weeks in May 2003, after Robert Downey Jr., while filming a tense scene with Berry, grabbed and twisted her arm, accidentally breaking it.[4][5]

Soundtrack

edit

The score's original music was composed byJohn Ottman. "Behind Blue Eyes" byLimp Bizkit (originally byThe Who) was featured in the film but was not available on the soundtrack. The record was released on November 18, 2003, viaVarèse Sarabande.[6]

Gothika was released on November 21, 2003, in North America, grossing $19.3 million in the opening weekend and ranking at #2, behindThe Cat in the Hat. It went on to gross $59.7 million in the US and $81.9 million from foreign markets for a worldwide total of $141.6 million.[1]

Critical response

edit

The review aggregator siteRotten Tomatoes gaveGothika a 15% approval rating based on 165 reviews and an average rating of 4.1/10. The site's critical consensus reads, "Berry's acting talents can't saveGothika from its preposterous plot and bad dialogue."[7] OnMetacritic, the film has a score of 38 out of 100 based on 36 critics, indicating "generally unfavorable" reviews.[8] Audiences polled byCinemaScore gave the film an average grade of "B" on an A+ to F scale.[9]

A more positive review came fromRoger Ebert ofThe Chicago Sun-Times, who gave the film 3 out of 4 stars. He wrote that "the plot is preposterous" but nonetheless felt that stylish direction and Berry's performance madeGothika enjoyable on its own "lurid" terms: "The casting of Halle Berry is useful to the movie because she evokes a vulnerable quality that triggers our concern.Hitchcock might have wanted to work with her. He didn't cast so much for acting ability as for an innate quality."[10]
