Gothika

This film is another case study our group has found to help us when editing and thinking about the storyline which will possibly follow our 2 minute opening.
'Gothika' 2003 has a certificate of 15 because it contains violence, brief language and nudity. Its genres are: Horror, Thriller, Mystery

The plot is about a psychologist in a women's prison who wakes up one day to find herself on the other side of the bars, accused of having murdered her husband. She needs to prove her innocence, but the film is not what you expect. There will be not too much logic in what follows, and the borders between reality and hallucination seem to be crossed by the director and script writer, not only by the characters. (The same sort of cross we have featured in our film with the fireworks in the main characters head.)

The haunting setting in the film and the way the atmosphere is being built targets its audiences (15 -30 year old thriller lovers) inciting them. The institution looks like some gothic building from outside, with blue lighted corridors inside creating an appropriate setting for the mood of the characters. Rain seems to poor almost permanently, kind of reflecting the fluid state of mind of the characters.
