Gothic romance film
The Gothic romance film is a Gothic film with feminine appeal. Diane Waldman wrote in ''Cinema Journal'' that Gothic films in general "permitted the articulation of feminine fear, anger, and distrust of the patriarchal order" and that such films during World War II and afterward "place an unusual emphasis on the affirmation of feminine perception, interpretation, and lived experience". Between 1940 and 1948, the Gothic romance film was prevalent in Hollywood, being produced by well-known directors and actors. The most well-known films of the era were ''Rebecca'' (1940), ''Suspicion'' (1941), and ''Gaslight'' (1944). Less well-known films were ''Undercurrent'' (1946) and ''Sleep, My Love'' (1948). Waldman describes these films' Gothic rubric: "A young inexperienced woman meets a handsome older man to whom she is alternately attracted and repelled." Other films from the decade include ''The Enchanted Cottage'' (1945), and ''The Heiress'' (1949).
The Gothic romance films from the 1940s often contain the "Bluebeard motif", meaning that in the typical setting of the house, a certain part is either forbidden to be used or even closed off entirely. In the films, the forbidden room is a metaphor for the heroine's repressed experience, and opening the room is a cathartic moment in the film. In addition, the layout of the house in such films (as well as Gothic novels) creates "spatial disorientation () causes fear and an uncanny restlessness".
In 2015, director Guillermo del Toro released the Gothic romance film ''Crimson Peak''. He said past films had been "brilliantly written by women and then rendered into films by male directors who reduce the potency of the female characters". For ''Crimson Peak'', he sought to reverse this trope.
