Lobster Boy 1 Posted October 19, 2014 Share Posted October 19, 2014 I really like 'darker' films but not necessarily horror, but here's a description of what I mean Gothic films are usually set in a castle, an old mansion, or an isolated village. The feeling is dark and moody with graveyard scenes or mist rolling in. A feeling of isolation and despair. The stories are usually based on some sort of ancient folklore or mythology. Usually there is a damsel in distress and a hero to rescue her. Almost like an adult dark fairy tale. Tales of tragedy and loss, mystery and horror, and sometimes even science gone wrong. So stuff like Sweeney Todd, Pan's Labryninth, possibly Maleficent. Also tryin to find some Victorian style ones, like 'From Hell' about Jack The Ripper Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andy McQueen 4,484 Posted October 19, 2014 Share Posted October 19, 2014 "Gothic" is gothic, I guess: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jRONk6_Ijlg I love the works of Tim Burton and the Hammer Studio Films, I also love "Death Becomes Her", "Van Helsing" etc. ... :) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy McQueen 4,484 Posted October 19, 2014 Share Posted October 19, 2014 Nosferatu. The original black-white "Nosferatu" is amazing. I also like the remake with Klaus Kinski and the movie "Shadow of the Vampire", which is a horror film based on the making of the original film. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nosferatu http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nosferatu_the_Vampyre http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shadow_of_the_Vampire I think Max Schreck, Klaus Kinski and William Dafoe are all magnificant actors and very interesting the see in the character.

AyaKara 2,272 Posted October 19, 2014 Share Posted October 19, 2014 Le Portrait de Petit Cosette describes exactly what you want. It's bone-chillingly good and the music is one of the best soundtracks I've ever heard (my favorite composer!) in my life. It's 1 hour and 30 minutes. There are trailers on YouTube but they're too spoilerific for your own good. It's about a man whom finds a portrait of a young woman in his art gallery and finds himself becoming obsessed with bringing her to life. It's really trippy and it's pretty deep. Rather than a trailer, I will leave a song here! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i25ZPiIIJAI Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
