Gothic
Directed by Ken Russell
- Aaron SladeMarch 29, 2025The premise (and the VHS/DVD cover) are better than the actual movie is. Looking at the description on the back of the VHS one rainy Friday night, I thought this is right up my alley, having been studying the writers at school at the time. But the film itself is rather dry and mediocre unfortunately.
