If Gothika hit the spot, these will too

Mathieu Kassovitz working the same nerve twice
The difference: Reviewed even better

The same two preoccupations: murder, and mental institution
The difference: Not nearly as melancholy as Gothika

Both land dread and unease at once

Common ground: rape
The difference: Leans harder into drama than Gothika does

Twisty and melancholy in the same breath

Both are built on the same subject: murder

The same preoccupation in both: mental illness


Two things both keep coming back to: paranormal and psychiatric hospital

Tense mystery, and it commits to that

Thriller with a pulse of unease, in both cases

Both lean on ideas more than on horror
In the mood for more dread?
