The term 'Gothic' has been applied to examples of Australian cinema
since the 1970s, often in arbitrary and divergent ways. This book
examines a wide range of Australian films to trace their Gothic
resemblances, characteristics and meanings. Concentrating on the
occurrence of Gothic motifs, characters, landscapes and narratives,
it argues for the recognition and relevance of a coherent Gothic
heritage in Australian film. Considering a plethora of Gothic
representatives in relation to four consistent and illuminating
continuities (images of the family, ideas of monstrosity, generic
hybridity and the occurrence of the sublime), this study
investigates the appearance and asserts the significance of
Australian Gothic films within their national, cultural, literary
and cinematic traditions.
