Gothic

Set on the shores of Lake Geneva, Gothic presents a chilling narrative as Lord Byron hosts Percy and Mary Shelley, along with Claire Clairmont. This gathering, enhanced by hallucinogenic substances, leads them into an evening filled with ghoulish tales and psychological horror. As the night unfolds, the line between reality and the apparitions they conjure becomes increasingly blurred.

With a runtime of 88 minutes, the film features an impressive cast, including Gabriel Byrne, Julian Sands, and Natasha Richardson. Gothic delves into themes of literature, drugs, and the complexities of human fear. The film's tagline, 'Conjure up your deepest, darkest fear... now call that fear to life,' encapsulates its haunting essence, making it a notable entry in the horror genre of the late 1980s.
