Gothic (1986)


A horror directed by Ken Russell.
A group of friends get together in a mansion to drink laudanum and tell ghost stories. After a seance, they all experience their worst fears coming true.
You wouldn't be able to tell from watching the film, but this movie is supposed to be about Mary Shelly writing Frankenstein. It's mentioned for a split second at the end and is the focus of the wikipedia article. There were some strange weather incongruences that I noticed while watching. At the beginning, the characters are running through the rain to arrive in a house with sunlight streaming through the windows. When night falls, you can hear a storm, but the moonlight is far too bright for any clouds to be in the sky. Basically, the movie was shit besides some nudity, so that's what I'm rating it.
