This is why I don't do drugs (Kilala.nl (Cailin Coilleach)) by Cailin Coilleach

Late last night, after our round of detective series had finished we ran into Ken Russel's Gothic (1986) on the MGM Movie Channel. The hacked movie poster on the left says it all: this must be what an acid trip could be like. o_O

Whimsical WTF-city Batman!

The idea behind the movie is quite interesting though. We all know Mary Shelley and her Frankenstein book, right? What a lot of people don't know is that this book was written after a weird night of ghost stories with Lord Byron, Shelley's husband and a few others. What Gothic does, is take this night, turn it into a movie and twist it into a weird-ass hallucination with conjuring, blasphemy and women with eyeballs for nipples... >_< Yes, it's -that- weird...

I won't be buying this flick on DVD because it really wasn't that good. However, if you're ever looking for a WTF-filled night, this is the movie to turn to. :)
