That was a very interesting movie. The whole experience of Lord Byron, Percy Shelley, Mary Shelley, John Polidori, and uh...can't remember her name, was so instrumental to the creation of horror, and people don't even realize it.
For example: Some argue that Bram Stoker took more from John Polidori's "The Vampyre" than he did from the Tsepes family history. The Vampyre was writen about Lord Byron's relationship with women. The Vampyre is also where the notion of the beautiful, elegant vampire comes from.
As you know, Frankenstein was born from this experience, as well.
The movie, sort of tries to put in their opiate state, so that you can visualize that experience, because they were trying to scare the shit out of each other.
