Gothic Cinema is a groundbreaking work that fills a significant gap in the discourse surrounding German-language films. This comprehensive volume offers a fresh perspective on a previously overlooked film context, exploring Gothic Cinema as an unofficial form of historiography that enables a comprehensive examination of the history of film, its techniques, and moral concepts, as well as gender relations, collective fears, and aesthetic currents.

To provide a clear understanding of the term and its central elements, the book begins with a delimitation and definition of the Gothic. This is followed by a comprehensive historical overview that spans from 1896 to the present day, providing a rich tapestry of the genre's development.

To further enhance the reader's experience, the review concludes with three in-depth analyses of individual post-2015 gothic films and television series. These analyses not only showcase representative examples of typical elements, motifs, and topoi within the genre but also highlight peculiarities and breaks that offer valuable insights for cultural and media studies investigations.

By delving into the realm of Gothic Cinema, this book offers a valuable contribution to the field, expanding our understanding of the genre's historical significance, its artistic innovations, and its cultural impact. It serves as a testament to the enduring power of film as a medium for storytelling and as a tool for exploring the complex and multifaceted aspects of human experience.
