Which article are you evaluating?
Gothic film

Why you have chosen this article to evaluate?
I want to explore articles that are focused on the Gothic genre. As I study Gothic literature (novels) and view movie adaptations, I think it's important to look into the cinematic aspect of the Gothic genre as well. It is important to note the similarities and differences, strengths and weaknesses between the Gothic literature and Gothic film. This specific article needs work (additional information) in order to provide an accurate understanding of Gothic film.

Evaluate the article
Lead Section: The overall introduction of the topic is weak. There should first be a clear definition of what a Gothic film is. The section does not briefly mention the article's major sections because there are no major sections other than "History". The lead section reads long, but it does not give enough information about the topic; it's too repetitive. The examples given do not elaborate on the topic. More examples should be provided. The section lacks consistency and has complex sentence structures.

Content: The "History" section can be extended. Additional sections can be included, such as "Characteristics of Gothic Film", "Sub-genres of Gothic Film" , "Influence". There is a section "Notable films," but it can also be informational to add "Notable Directors."

Tone and Balance: Neutral

Sources and References: Some of the sources are from more than five years ago. Also, there are multiple sources from the same author (not a diverse spectrum). There is an academic source included.

Organization and writing quality: Some sentences are lengthy, it should be more consistent.

Images and Media: There are no images.

Talk page discussion: This article is in WikiProjects: Film. The article is a Start-class, therefore there aren't many conversations.

Overall Impressions: This article needs a lot of work. It is an interesting topic to research and elaborate on. There should be sections added and revisions made to better the article.
