First off GOTHIKA, for whatever reason the movie is titled this is beyond me, is your average ghost movie. The ghost appears to the person to deliver some message, and usually pops up in places to surprise that person.
Yet, this movie is not that bad. I wasn't expecting anything too great, but I was pleased. There are some good scare moments, and Halle Berry plays her part well. The ending is a little predictable, as to who is involved, but left me a little more disturbed than I really wanted.
The supernatural part of this movie is typical, but not nearly as fun as say that of THIR13EN GHOSTS (also produced by the same company); however, does provide some good scares. The ghost pretty much exists for the sole reason of adding a little more thrill to the movie's atmosphere; however, Berry's character could have probably reached to the conclusion without the violent ghost's random visits.
If you are not a big fan of horror movies, then this one probably won't change your mind, but for horror fans, this should go over well.
After seeing HOUSE ON HAUNTED HILL, THIR13EN GHOSTS, GHOST SHIP, and now GOTHIKA (all DarkCastle films, one released per year), I am always ready for the next one they will put out.
Although GOTHIKA is nothing special, it was worth the $5.00 I paid to see it, and provided some good scares, I give it a 6/10.
