Gothic literature has had a unique place among literary genres since the 18th century. It has developed as a tradition that evokes strong emotional reactions in the reader with its unique elements. The basis of this genre is comprised of elements such as the fears hidden in the subconscious of man, the tragic experiences of individuals excluded from society or nature, the threatening and isolating structures of space, and the anxiety created by the unknown. These structural features of Gothic literature have transferred to horror cinema and become a rich resource for filmmakers in terms of aesthetics, narrative and psychology. Horror cinema aims to leave a more profound and lasting impact on the audience by combining these elements of gothic literature with visual and auditory techniques. This study will examine how the essential elements of gothic literature are reinterpreted in the context of horror cinema and how these elements are conveyed in a cinematic form. In particular, the film The Others (2001) will analyse how the gothic atmosphere is conveyed to the audience through cinema and how gothic literature elements support the characters' psychological journeys.

Gotik edebiyat, 18. yüzyıldan itibaren edebi türler arasında kendine özgü bir yer edinmiş ve benzersiz unsurlarıyla okuyucuda güçlü duygusal tepkiler uyandıran bir gelenek olarak gelişmiştir. Bu türün temeli; insanın bilinçaltında gizlenen korkular, toplum ya da doğa tarafından dışlanmış bireylerin trajik deneyimleri, mekânın tehditkâr ve izole edici yapıları ve bilinmeyenin yarattığı kaygı gibi unsurlardan oluşmaktadır. Gotik edebiyatın bu yapısal özellikleri korku sinemasına da aktarılmış ve sinemacılar için estetik, anlatı ve psikolojik açıdan zengin bir kaynak haline gelmiştir. Korku sineması, gotik edebiyatın bu unsurlarını görsel ve işitsel tekniklerle birleştirerek izleyici üzerinde daha derin ve kalıcı bir etki bırakmayı amaçlamaktadır. Bu çalışma, gotik edebiyatın temel unsurlarının korku sineması bağlamında nasıl yeniden yorumlandığını ve bu unsurların sinemasal bir formda nasıl aktarıldığını inceleyecektir. Özellikle The Others (2001) filmi ele alınarak, gotik atmosferin sinema aracılığıyla izleyiciye nasıl aktarıldığı ve gotik edebiyat unsurlarının karakterlerin psikolojik yolculuklarını nasıl desteklediği analiz edilecektir.
