It’s a pity that ‘Gothika’ is the only horror film in Halle Berry’s career. The Oscar-winning actress exudes a particular brand of vulnerability that draws out our sympathy and worry for her character. Directed by Mathieu Kassovitz (‘The Crimson Rivers’), the film tells the story of a psychiatrist, Miranda Grey (Berry), who wakes up one day to find that she has been incarcerated for murdering her husband Douglas (Charles S. Dutton). With no memory of what really transpired, she comes to believe that the ghost of a young girl is possessing her. ‘Gothika’ also stars a pre-MCU Robert Downey Jr., who portrays Miranda’s colleague Dr. Pete Graham. SPOILERS AHEAD.
