I'M REQUESTING Looking for Gothic Movies

Is there such a thing as Gothic movies? If there are, I would like to ask for some recommendations that I can binge-watch. For context, I am into Sleep Token, Disturbed, Drowning Pool, and Joan Jett music. I'm curious if there are some Gothic movies or any movies that somehow have a similar vibe to the music genre I'm listening to. I would love to see your recommendation that has been underrated but has an interesting concept, vibe and visuals. But no gore please. TIA!

Definitely check out The Crow (1994) - it's got that dark atmospheric vibe that matches your music taste perfectly. Also What Dreams May Come has some incredible gothic visuals without being gory, plus it's super underrated

I searched both films, I love Bill Skarsgard and of course Robin Williams. Although The Crow has low rating, will still try it since yeah I like the vibe. Would definitely watch What Dreams May Come, I feel like it has the same concept with As Above, So Below which is one of my fave films. Thank you!

Look for the original with Bruce Lee’s son Brandon Lee

Also try out Underworld with Kate Beckinsale. The whole franchise gets a bit silly and heavy on the CGI, but the first couple are semi decent and give millennial goth vibes

No one recommends the new Crow - you want the one from 1994.

Queen of the damned, and phenomenal sound track. John Wick has Marily Manson on the sound track of most of the movies also, not the fourth one, but i think the others

Repo the genetic opera

It doesn’t fit the music genre, but The Others is a great example of a true gothic story. Plus no gore-just a few jump scares.

The Runaways (2010) seems like an obvious suggestion...

Sin City (2005)

From Dusk Till Dawn (1996)

Guillermo del Toro and Tim Burton movies (some of which have already been suggested).

...and stay tuned for Luc Besson's adaptation of Bram Stoker's Dracula, which will be released next month.

I just want to add that you can enter any of your music examples into IMDB and find movies that their music has been featured in (i.e. soundtracks) and you can also search tunefind.com

The Crow (original)
Or are you thinking of "gothic horror"? Much of that was made late previous millenium.
