Gothic Cinema is a film genre that draws inspiration from Gothic literature and architecture, characterized by dark themes, supernatural elements, and a sense of mystery. It often features haunted settings, such as old castles or abandoned mansions, and explores psychological horror, madness, and the uncanny. Key films in this genre include classics like Nosferatu and The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari, which set the tone for later works. Directors like Alfred Hitchcock and Tim Burton have also contributed to Gothic Cinema, blending traditional elements with modern storytelling techniques to create visually striking and emotionally resonant films.
