After a car crash, criminal psychologist Dr. Miranda Grey regains consciousness only to find that she's a patient in the same mental institution that currently employs her. She's been accused of murdering her husband Dr. Douglas Grey — but she has no memory of committing the crime. As she tries to regain her memory and convince her co-worker, Dr. Pete Graham, of her innocence, a vengeful spirit uses her as an earthly pawn, which further convinces everyone of her guilt.

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Halle Berry broke her arm filming a shower scene but finished the shoot wearing a modified cast hidden under costumes.
The film's title refers to both 'gothic' horror conventions and the 'ika' suffix meaning 'condition' — literally a state of Gothic dread, which Kassovitz intended as European art-horror homage.
