The book explores the presence of Gothic elements in Australian cinema since the 1970s, arguing for the recognition of a coherent Gothic heritage in the country's film. It examines a variety of Australian films through the lens of four consistent continuities: images of the family, ideas of monstrosity, generic hybridity, and the occurrence of the sublime.

Since the 1970s, the term "Gothic" has been applied to Australian cinema in various and often arbitrary ways. This book delves into a comprehensive examination of a diverse range of Australian films, seeking to trace their Gothic resemblances, characteristics, and meanings. By focusing on the presence of Gothic motifs, characters, landscapes, and narratives, it advocates for the recognition and significance of a coherent Gothic heritage in Australian cinema. Through a meticulous analysis of a multitude of Gothic representatives in relation to four consistent and illuminating continuities (images of the family, ideas of monstrosity, generic hybridity, and the occurrence of the sublime), this study investigates the emergence and establishes the importance of Australian Gothic films within their national, cultural, literary, and cinematic traditions.
