GOTHIKA: GOTHIKA stars Halle Berry as Dr. Miranda Grey, a
psychiatrist who becomes a patient in her own mental hospital after
she is accused of murdering her husband (Charles S. Dutton). Grey's
only initial memory of the incident involves a chilling encounter
with a distraught girl (Kathleen Mackey) on a rain-soaked road. The
incarcerated and medicated Grey is now haunted by the same
apparition, and she must convince her former colleague Pete Graham
(Robert Downey Jr.) that she is not insane or guilty of murder.
Meanwhile, the seemingly mad ramblings of Chloe (Penelope Cruz),
one of Grey's former patients, now make more sense, and Grey must
throw aside clinical logic to solve the supernatural murder
mystery. QUEEN OF THE DAMNED: A deep, dark, and stylish adaptation
of the book by Anne Rice from her hugely popular series of vampire
novels, THE QUEEN OF THE DAMNED is like a Nine Inch Nails rock
video. Undernourished goth club kids are the focus of the film and
they all look great with piercings, net t-shirts, tattoos, dyed
hair, and dour facial expressions. The film follows the celebrity
rock star Vampire Lestat (Stuart Townsend), who has emerged from
200 years of solitude to show his face--and his vampire powers--to
the world. He has assembled a goth band, makes regular media
appearances, and has enchanted the world with his otherworldly
mystique. In addition, he has planned one of the most controversial
publicity stunts of all eternity: he is holding a one-night rock
concert in California's Death Valley, inviting all vampires young
and old (along with his extensive fan-base of mortals) to join him.
As a sidebar to this activity, the mortal Jesse, a young woman who
works for the Talamasca Society studying paranormal occurrences,
has found a secret portal to the vampire world: a London pub where
vamps hang out. There she meets Lestat and is instantly smitten
with him, insisting on travelling to Death Valley to see his
concert. Also en route to the show is the sleek and sexy Egyptian
mother of all vampires Queen Akasha (Aaliyah), who has recently
arisen from a 2,000-year nap in order to unleash hell on earth.
From a distance, a wise band of vampires watches telepathically as
Akasha, Lestat, and Jesse converge in Death Valley. But what nobody
knows is that the headstrong Lestat, who is the most impulsive and
irresponsible of immortal beings but practically a god in the eyes
of mortals, is the only one who can defeat Akasha and save the
world.
