To fulfill this purpose, I will analyze The Babadook (2014), The Invitation (2015), and Crimson Peak (2015), in order to identify gothic inspiration in the cinematography, mise en scène, and narratives of the films. Specifically, I will look at the theme of isolation and its importance to the gothic horror genre, as well as the relationship between the characters and their settings in the chosen films. In the next section, I will detail my rationales and justification for this research.
