Overview
Living on an estate on the shores of Lake Geneva, Lord Byron is visited by Percy and Mary Shelley. Together with Byron's lover Claire Clairmont, and aided by hallucinogenic substances, they devise an evening of ghoulish tales. However, when confronted by horrors, ostensibly of their own creation, it becomes difficult to tell apparition from reality.

How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A hallucinogenic descent into terror where literary minds confront the line between imagination and madness. Visually baroque and deeply disorienting, it's less concerned with scares than with psychological unraveling.
