Reviews:

One of the best works of Director Ken Russell
Films like Gothic, directed by Ken Russell, will not be to most people’s taste. Russell is noted for a skewed view of life with very twisted imagery, such as his invariable trademark snake that slithers around in all his films. In this particular film he has devised a story that touches on reality in an unreal way as he brings the famous night that Percy Shelly, Mary Shelly, he half-sister Claire, Lord Byron and Dr. John Polidori spent together that brought about two of the great horror stories of all time about as a result. Between debauchery and Opium laced nightmares this could have been very much what it was really like as this quintet of famous or rather infamous people got together and brought the birth of a new kind of literature, years before Edgar Allen Poe began his writing. Polidori’s “The Vampyre” which for many years was attributed to Byron was the forerunner and inspiration for Bram Stoker’s Dracula. Of course, Mary Shelly was to go on and write “Frankenstein.” This is how it could have happened.

This feature is intense and not for everyone. Definitely not for young people. But a true intellectual’s horror tale.

Style at the expense of substantive storytelling
Gothic, directed by Ken Russell, is a rather interesting film that deals with, among other things, the dark side of creativity and imagination. More specifically, it’s about the night when Mary Shelley came up with the idea that she would later turn into the novel “Frankenstein.” By and large, the performances are quite good, although I didn’t really care for Julian Sands. However, the story was almost non-existent and ephemeral, existing merely to have a bunch of people go around saying stuffy lines and get scared out of their wits by creatures borne of their imaginations. Granted, some of these sequences and images were haunting and surreal, but it all added up to a lot of style with very little substance. As far as the score is concerned, I thought that the work Thomas Dolby did was impeccable as far as its musical quality, but some of the cues didn’t really fit (to me) with this kind of period piece. The story takes place in the early 19th century, but a lot of the music sounded very 1980’s with synthesizers and programmed drums. It’s a score that I’d buy, but I’m not too sure that it completely fit the film. From a technical standpoint, I thought it was very well-made, i.e., it was well-lit and the shot composition was varied. There were also some Dutch angles that accentuated the disorienting feel the filmmakers seemed to be going for. Overall, if you’re looking for a well-told story that has characters you care about and identify with, this might not be the best choice for you. However, if you like heavily stylized and surreal horror, this will probably suit your fancy.
