Berry stars in a modern blockbuster horror film, in which she plays a psychologist named Miranda Grey who wakes up in the exact asylum she has worked at. The doctors tell her she is accused of murder, however she doesn't recall anything happening. As she tries to regain her memory, a spirit mentally torments her, frequently reading the phrase, "not alone."
There is no other way to describe this film besides saying that it is absolutely boring. Any scene without build-up is just atrocious, and scenes with "fake-scares" (a cliché I completely despise) make me cringe. Berry's performance wasn't that memorable. Most of it consisted of ugly hallucinations or screaming, which becomes monotonous very quickly.Fortunately, Robert Downey, Jr. gives a solid supporting performance as the lead doctor, Pete Graham. He doesn't have as much screen-time as you'd assume as he is second-billed, but when he's on screen Downey impresses me.
As I stated earlier, this film is just plain boring. The visual effects are weak, the ensemble of the cast is subpar, and is not worth the 98 minutes. Made in 2003, many critics could see that immediately Berry's career would decline and it seems up to today that still is true. I feel nothing but pity for anyone who appreciates this film as it receives a 1.5/4. Lesson of the day: creepy doesn't mean good.
