British Gothic Revival
1957–1974 · GB
Victorian dread got a technicolor makeover in Britain from 1957 to 1974 as Hammer and Amicus turned Gothic classics into glossy shocks—think The Curse of Frankenstein and Horror of Dracula with Christopher Lee and Peter Cushing leaning into operatic villainy. Expect grand manor houses, lurid reds, overt sexuality and a new appetite for gore; performances and gender politics can feel dated, but the atmosphere still grips.
