//M.T) Psychiatric hospitals/institutions

A film that isn?t highly rated by most, but remains to be one of my favourites and most re-watched films that I own.

Gothika has the dark creepy atmosphere, which is maintained throughout the film and a storyline which urges you to feel the frustration of the main characters, played by Halle Berry and Penelope Cruz.

Admittedly it has it?s clichéd moments and it?s not without predictability, but it?s certainly worth watching (in my opinion) if you enjoy supernatural Thrillers.

'Behind Blue Eyes' became one of my favourite songs after watching this film.

Some great performance all around especially Don Cheadle and another of my favourites right now, Joseph Gordon-Levitt.

The beauty of this film is that it's very realistically created, showing this condition in warts and all sort of way, the down side of which is that it's so realistic and due to the nature of such conditions, as a film it does come across a little dull and drawn out.

For anyone who has watched the film 'Manic' it's a very similar storyline, based inside a Psychiatric Hospital with various characters, who come to life and communicate through their various conditions. A very likeable performance from Cillian Murphy.

I thoroughly enjoyed this film, both at the time of the release and re-watching it now.

Some really good performances, but in particular Angelina Jolie, this is my favourite of hers, it was before she became too 'Hollywood.'

Brings a little awareness to the subjects raised, but also has a sort of hidden message.

VERDICT: If you've not manageed to watch this as yet then I definitely recommend watching.

A hugely disappointing amateur Horror film with no originality. Famke Janssen has appeared in some pretty good quality films, alongside some good quality Actors, I can?t really see why she would take on a film of this standard.

For me it was too corny and very Scooby-doo ish.

An interesting tale, a story of trust and psychology. Not a huge fan of Cuba Gooding Jr, but he didn't do a bad job in this role as the psychiatrist. Hopkins providing another good performance,

VERDICT: Certainly worth watching, not on your gonna watch over and over though

Great film at the time of it's release, really enjoyed it

Certainly my favourite Jodie Foster/Anthony Hopkins role, this is my genre, what could be a better story than to have a Serial Killer, profile another Serial Killer? This is a film that sets a benchmark for all other Serial Killer movies.

Also, on the second disc of the dvd is 'A Making of The Silence of the Lambs' which is pretty interesting and well worth a watch, if you like special feature

Perfection! An absolute phenomenal film with Nicholson's finest performance to date in my opinion.

Great characterisation here with all the patients and a real insight into hospitals for mental health in that era, especially the use of electric shock treatment.

This should be in the collection of anyone who calls themselves a movie addict.

A very underated film I feel, a very twisted love story of obsession and jealousy.
