Editorial Reviews

Dr. Miranda Grey doesn't believe in ghosts. But they believe in her. Halle Berry plays Grey in a frightmare set in a women's penitentiary where someone - or something - is very twisted...and deadly. Penélope Cruz and Robert Downey Jr. co-star in Gothika [Side A], "an atmospheric thriller that will keep you guessing" (Jeffrey K. Howard, ABC-TV). Anne Rice's The Vampire Chronicles is the basis for Queen of the Damned [Side B]. Stuart Townsend plays Lestat, the ancient vampire who finds acceptance in the world of Goth rock, and Aaliyah plays the royal fiend awakened from death by his music. "Erotic, scary, gothic and exciting. Move over Dracula, the Queen has arrived!" (Mike Sargent, WBAI Radio/New York).

At first I was looking for "Gothika". Then I realized it was the same price to buy both. Good decision

This review is from: Gothika/Queen of the Damned (DVD)

I have always liked Halle Berry and she doesn't disappoint in Gothica. Working in the Psychiatic Ward in a prison, she deals with all kinds of disorders. On her way home one night, she sees a girl in the middle of the road and stops to help. When she wakes up, it's days later and she's now in one of the cells at the prison she worked at. Worse than that, she finds out that she's responsible for the murder of her husband (Charles S. Dutton) and can't believe, or remember killing him.

There are a lot of twists and turns, and if you like paranornal thrillers, you will love this film too.

Queen of the Damned is pretty good if you mostly pay attention to the costumes and special effects. I'm not a huge fan of Anne Rice novels, although I have read a few. Stuart Townsend plays Lastat, while nice to look at, is not up to Tom Cruses' performance in "Interview with a Vampire". However, the apperance of Aaliyah as Akasha is great. She's strong, evil and totally steals the show. Worth the watch and the purchase.
