Halle Berry is a beautiful woman, but here she spends most of the movie weeping, grieving, scared to death, and otherwise emoting in such ways as to undermine her natural good looks. Oh, and she technically has a nude scene, but it is dark, the camera is fairly far back, and she (or a double) is situated in such a way that you can tell she is naked, but really don't see anything. The rest is very carefully edited, so that you think you might see something any time, but you never do. Anyway, Berry's character, Miranda Grey, is lost in a Kafkaesque prison for the insane. (A huge plot hole is that she, days earlier, worked at the same prison as a psychiatrist, and is being treated by her former colleagues, and is locked up with her former patients. Come on.) The film doesn't know if it wants to be a psychological thriller or a ghost story. While there's nothing wrong in principle with mixing genres, it really doesn't work here. But, the film is still mildly entertaining, even though filmed with an irritating bluish tinge in all of the hospital scenes. Berry and Penelope Cruz did about all that could be expected with the material. Grade: C+
