Gothic
Conjure up your deepest, darkest fear... now call that fear to life.
Directed by Ken Russell
Produced by Virgin Vision
A hallucinogenic, literary horror film that blurs the boundary between imagination and reality as famous Romantic poets confront the monsters they've conjured.
Living on an estate on the shores of Lake Geneva, Lord Byron is visited by Percy and Mary Shelley. Together with Byron's lover Claire Clairmont, and aided by hallucinogenic substances, they devise an evening of ghoulish tales. However, when confronted by horrors, ostensibly of their own creation, it becomes difficult to tell apparition from reality.
