Plot hole: In the shower scene when Miranda is being cut, everyone in there, including the guard, sees her getting the cuts out of nowhere. Yet they all say, she did it to herself with a scalpel although one was never seen or found. Don't they think if she did it to herself, they would've seen it?

Gothika stars Halle Berry, Robert Downey Jr. and Charles S. Dutton in a wild and twisted ghost story ala One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest about a young psychiatrist who's accused of murdering her husband. She is locked up with other women, including Penelope Cruz in a supportive role. Things quickly go downhill from there as she's seen as insane from visions assaulting her. She must try to figure out the meaning of it all before things get worse. Halle Berry tries to cry, scream and make it through this movie, but she can only do so much to save this sad film.
-60/10.Why they ever cast Halle Berry in anything is beyond my comprehension.The movie's less predictable than an episode of the various Scooby Doo shows.
Chloe: It was the only way to help him stop.
Miranda: Stop what?
Chloe: Stop fucking me.
Trivia: In the film poster, the "Not alone" on Halle Berry's forearm is written running from wrist to elbow. However, in the film, when she removes her bandages, it runs elbow to wrist.
Question: When Miranda is looking at the picture of her and her husband, why does a drop of blood fall onto the picture?

Answer: The blood is not from Miranda; the drop of blood is a sign from the "dead girl" to tell Miranda that she should go to the place in the pic. Miranda goes the next day and that's how she finds her husband was a sadist.
