Graveyard Shift: GOTHIKA @ Alamo Drafthouse

Graveyard Shift is our weekly descent into horror—join us every Monday night for spine-chilling screenings of cult classics, deep cuts, and nightmare fuel from every corner of the genre. Because who needs sleep?

Dr. Miranda Grey (Halle Berry) was a top psychologist at a prison mental ward . . . until the morning she woke up as a patient. Accused of murdering her husband, but with no recollection of the crime, Dr. Grey must fight not only for her innocence, but her sanity. While Dr. Grey's experiences lead her to the supernatural, she discovers the violent hallucinations suffered by her fellow inmate and former patient Chloe (Penelope Cruz) are very real. With some ghostly assistance and a returning memory, Dr. Grey will discover the truth leads her close to home. GOTHIKA is Hollywood horror as slick as it comes, commanded by an all-star cast led by Berry, Cruz, and a comeback-ready Robert Downey, Jr. Widely panned upon its release, critics could not reconcile the film's interweaving of the supernatural and psychological, the very piece that makes it hold up today. Nor did they notice (or care) about the underlying themes that emerge around women's sanity and right to be believed, and the abuses that occur to institutionalized people. While indeed a product of its time, GOTHIKA is a campy yet original thriller that turns up the dial on atmosphere and chills. (Alicia Coombs)
