GOTHIKA

Release Date: October 24, 2003
Studio: Warner Bros. Pictures/Dark Castle Entertainment
Director: Richard Donner
Screenwriter: Sebastian Gutierrez
Starring: Halle Berry, Penelope Cruz
Genre: Supernatural, Thriller
Plot Summary: A female psychiatrist (Berry) wakes up as a patient in the asylum for the criminally insane where she works and finds that she is being charged with a murder she has no memory of committing. As she wrestles to regain her memory, she finds that she is the pawn of a vengeful spirit. Cruz will play Chloe, a charismatic yet deranged patient at the facility.

My thoughts: I'm quite looking forward to this movie. I have enjoyed Dark Castle's productions although I was quite disappointed with Ghost Ship. With a new director replacing the shabby Steve Beck (who helmed 13 Ghosts and Ghost Ship) and two award-winning actresses aswell as a new screenwriter, this film looks the most promising of the Dark Castle series - this time it's moving away from the full-on-gore Haunted House theme and moving on to more sophisticated suspense thrillers. It will be up against a few big October releases though (e.g. Kill Bill, etc)... Bring it on October!
