For me, Gothika is one of those movies I can watch over and over and not get bored with. And I have done that, I’ve watched it several times over the years. It’s to the point where I should either buy a digital version or get the DVD, or both.
I would also put this movie in the genre of psychological thriller, or even crime. There is a lot going on here, and the characters are even clueless. Who’s crazy? Who’s not? Who’s actually telling the truth?
Everyone does a great job in this movie, though after watching a bunch of Marvel movies it’s still a little jarring to watch RDJ play a down to earth psychiatrist.
It’s safe to say that for me, this is an all-time favorite movie that never gets old.
