Gothika

Halle Berry portrays Grey, accused of a savage murder and clinging to her sanity as she copes with a series of ghostly encounters in Gothika, from producers (and Ghost Ship mates) Joel Silver, Robert Zemeckis and Susan Levin. A fellow doctor (Robert Downey Jr.), a volatile inmate (Penelope Cruz) and others figure in her harrowing ordeal.

Mattieu Kassovitz directs this jolting ghost story in which strange voices cry out, messages scrawled in blood appear, specters arise — and the only thing more gripping than Grey's stark awakening into madness is her feverish attempt to escape it.
