This sole reason for why I watched "Gothic" was because I am a fan of Julian Sands. However, oddly enough, then I never got around to watching "Gothic" before now in the middle of 2019.
"Gothic" is by no means a great milestone in cinema history. Actually I found the movie to be so bizarre and having such an odd storyline that the movie wasn't particularly enjoyable. There was just too much strangeness happening throughout the entire course of the movie, and not in a great coherent sense, mind you.
The movie was visually great, because there was some really nice and interesting sets and props. This movie doesn't utilize an abundance of special effects, so don't go about expecting a visually great special effects experience.
The characters in the movie were adequate, although they were suffering from the lousy storyline and the slightly off-beat dialogue. This meant that the actors and actresses in the movie were fighting an uphill battle. I will say that they did have some interesting names on the cast list, aside from Julian Sands, which included the likes of Gabriel Byrne, Natasha Richardson and Timothy Spall.
I managed to sit through the entire course of this odd movie, but I can in all honesty say that I am never returning to it for a second viewing. The movie just didn't have much of any appeal to me.
