Gothic (1986)

Viewed: 12/12

12/12: Want to see a film that's utter shit?

Then, check out Gothic. The awesomely bad film is incoherent, rambling, and pointless. In fact, there's no plot to speak of. It's a stupid hallucination that's shared by everybody partaking of massive doses of alcohol and drugs during one night at the mansion. Then, the next morning, they're jolly cheerful and alive.

And Gothic is labeled a horror film? Yeah...right. Oh, by the way, that weird-looking elf on the movie poster? He has nothing to do with the film whatsoever and only appears in it for like three seconds.

I should've known better. While I was watching Gothic, Altered States kept coming to my mind constantly. Afterwards, going on the internet to see Ken Russell's oeuvre, he directed that piece of crap along with another craptacular picture The Lair of the White Worm. Congratulations, Ken...you have officially landed on my Worst Directors list. He should've been committed a long time ago.

All in all, Gothic is a straight F turkey bomb.
