I thought it was pretty decent.
The characterisation felt like a bit of an eyeroller but the premise and plot are solid. Very good atmosphere created by some fantastic cinematography and artwork, nice use of symbolism and surreality, and complimented by some pretty neat direction.
I still prefer Altered States over this as my choice for Ken Russell. Havent seen some of his other works (Lair of the White Worm being the third one I ve seen), but I m pretty sure Altered States is his crowning achievement. Gothic would be second in line.
