Title: Berry does as well as anybody else could in this muddle
Review: GOTHIKA follows standard horror-thriller conventions (especially the red herrings and cheap scares) and it's technically well-made. But . . . the anticlimactic third act finishes with a ridiculous finale with muddled disclosures and plot holes galore. GOTHIKA wants to be a supernatural ghost story, a woman-in-prison movie, a wrongfully accused movie, a murder mystery, and unintentionally, a comedy! Not awful, but not that good either.
