Synopsis

Observing the more distasteful aspects of humanity (class inequality, human cruelty, addiction, and exploitation), the historical horrors of the new millennium were to inject the cinematic sub genre with an uncomfortable degree of sincerity. Abandoning the largely sanitized approach of its predecessors, and opting for much harder edge, in productions such as FROM HELL (2001), DORIAN GRAY (2009) and the Showtime television series Penny Dreadful (2014-2016) there emerged a penchant to expose our bygone terrors warts and all. As one part historical observation and one part film observation, Gaslit and Gruesome (gloriously illustrated by As Loydon) explores both the fact and the fiction of the historical horror and how, in the new millennium, it has maintained its grotesque fascination.
