Gothika
I saw this when it first came out and could not remember much about it, so though I would give it another spin. The main story line is happily married Halle Berry works in a women’s mental institution and through circumstances best left for viewing ends up inside herself as a patient. Robert Downey Jnr, once her lecherous colleague is now her main carer and treats her like the supposed loon she is. There is a thriller filling, wrapped up in a supernatural tortilla that works quite well but will never really test your grey cells. There are some atmospheric moments and good skewered camera angles thrown in, with some especially good lighting and to top it all off, many shots of Halle's berries either wet from the rain or struggling to get out of the extremely tight institutional outfit. All in all better than I remebered but will stay on Netflix and not on my hallowed shelves. 6/10
