Gothic
Movie • 1986 • Horror
ReportThe year is 1816. A sprawling villa in Switzerland is the setting for a stormy night of madness. On this night of the "Haunted Summer," five famous friends gather around an ancient skull to conjure up their darkest fears. Poets Lord Byron and Percy Shelley, Shelley's fiancée Mary Godwin, Mary's stepsister Claire Clairemont and Byron's friend John Polidori spend a hallucinogenic evening confronting their fears in a frenzy of shocking lunacy. Horrifying visions invade the castle - realizations of Byron's fear of leeches, Shelley's fear of premature burial, Mary's fear of birthing a stillborn child - all brought forth in a bizarre dreamscape. They share the terrifying fantasies that chase them through the castle that night. The events of that night later inspired Mary Shelley to write the classic "Frankenstein" and Dr. Polidori to pen "The Vampyre," which became the basis for the creation of Dracula..

There's a suggestion that Claire is having a flashback to her father harming her in the scene where she's instructed to conjure her inner most fears.
Also, later on, Mary says to Byron, "Possession that destroys, like your wife was destroyed by your sodomy, like every lover you've ever raped—women, men, boys, and even Augusta".

Also, they aren't bugs but might trigger someone anyway, there are also leeches shown being on food (as a prank) and swallowed (separate scene).

Byron constantly grabs or forcefully kisses other characters. This is often (but not always) responded to positively. Regardless, this might be a very uncomfortable and repetitive event.

Several attempts of suicide from one character. Near-suicide of another.
In the end, only verbally, we're informed that one of the characters did eventually succeed in an attempt. We're given no details.
