Trama
In 1816 at Lake Geneva's Villa Diodati, Lord Byron hosts Percy and Mary Shelley, along with Claire Clairmont, his half-sister. One stormy night, they decide to entertain each other with supernatural tales. Under the influence of drugs, likely opium, they engage in a séance where strange occurrences begin to take place. The line between reality and their horrifying creations starts to blur, leading to unsettling events that terrorize them all.

Riepilogo
Ken Russell's 'Gothic' is a loosely fictionalized account of the events leading up to Mary Shelley's creation of 'Frankenstein.' Set against the backdrop of Byron's Villa Diodati in 1816, the film explores themes of creativity, madness, and the blurred line between reality and imagination. The movie notably incorporates elements of gay subtexts, reflecting Lord Byron's bisexuality.
