oh my god. what a freaky movie.
this movie is sooooooooooooooo freaky! arg!
i am rendered speechless.
coz who really can say what one's thinking? or who's the insane one? like, what yardstick? stuff like that.
dang. psychiatry. not just psychology. she became a doctor first before specializing in the mind. medicine's already something.
and then she goes on to learn that she's got other gifts - like the ability to be conscious of the paranormal.
well, if you get picked on ghosts like that, who won't be?
she prolly pleaded insanity. the characters are all sharp as hell, except maybe the sheriff. mwahahaha! his loyalty is unparalleled, to say the least. but everyone else, like the psychiatrists, the nurses, the lawyer - shoot. they finish each other's sentences. they get stumped by the same puzzles. they don't always know what's going on, but they don't stop there - they go on and see if they can find out.
the things people can hide from each other, even after you marry and live with someone. even after you try to extract it from them. even after you take strides so they tell you of their own accord.

filmmakers audaciously took the literary and architectural term "gothic" and packaged it so it becomes the descriptive, collective "gothika" - a story that pulls in all the elements of gothic fiction - remote, macabre, mysterious, violent.
