| Gothic Films (435 words) |
 | Later this obsession with death also gave more horror movies the title of gothic, but as the genres and of film expanded (or, given the speed at which the movie industry has developed perhaps a better word would be "exploded") the idea of "gothic" could be applied to any film from any genre. |
| As with literature, the key ingredients in a gothic movie are darkness, death or the immenence of death, and an atmosphere of underlying fear or paranoia. |
| It is essential to the understanding of a gothic film to realise that the director very rarely intends them to be viewed as gothic, and therefore the judgement is in the hands of the viewer. |
