Jan 31, 2021 · Gothic is a worthwhile watch for Frankenstein nerds and those looking for an off-the-rails '80s flick that drags the viewer's sanity along for ...
Ken Russell’s Gothic (1986) is a frenetic, almost unhinged retelling of the events that led to the creation of Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein, with all the fun of ’80s cheese.
2. Gothic | Rotten Tomatoes
Average horror movie. At first I even liked it, because the events take place in the estate of George Byron, but then the rating went down sharply. Quite banal ...
On a warm summer night in 1816 at the Swiss lakeside chateau of Lord Byron (Gabriel Byrne), the poet and his guests -- Percy Bysshe Shelley (Julian Sands) ; his fiancée, Mary Wollstonecraft (Natasha Richardson) ; her half-sister, Claire (Myriam Cyr) ; and his private doctor John Polidori (Timothy Spall) -- spend the evening sharing ghost stories while under the influence of experimental compounds provided by the doctor. As the night goes on, reality and the horrific tales begin to commingle.

In Brief: Horror meets the biographical film in Ken Russell's Gothic (1986) — a stylish and very wild and woolly take on Lord Byron's (Gabriel Byrne) house party at the villa in Switzerland with Mary Shelley (Natasha Richardson), Percy Shelley (Julian Sands) and Dr. Polidori (Timothy Spall). This, of course, was the famous party that led to Mary writing Frankenstein. In Russell's take, these people are more like dissolute rock stars — complete with groupies and people cashing in on their notoriety — whose drug-fueled antics lead to madness and the creation (real or imagined?) of untold horrors. Did it happen like this? Well, let's say it could have, and it certainly provides one wild and creepy ride. The Thursday Horror Picture Show will screen Gothic Thursday, July 3 at 8 p.m. in Theater Six at The Carolina Asheville and will be hosted by Xpress movie critics Ken Hanke and Justin Souther.

I had occasion recently to watch the 1986 film Gothic. It’s a Ken Russell film and if you have ever seen a Ken Russell film, you know already that it is going to be over-the-top to say the very least. The film purportedly tells the story of the night that Mary Shelley conceived her classic novel Frankenstein. Through most of the film, the actors roam around a house and its immediate environs behaving wildly and with increasing levels of insanity.
