Surprisingly incoherent and boring

Don't listen to the Hype. It's awful

At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.

Crimson PeakIt is not easy to watch a ghost of a dead woman carrying her dead child dripping blood all over it and still despite of these horrific images, it is also filled with rich beauty in it; the candles, the horses, the fancy wardrobe clothes, everything stunning. Crimson Peak defines dedication of art love on the screen but there just isn't enough meat to rely on it and the one that feeds the film is not only predictable but seems to be stretched (especially its first act) into complicated relations just to fancy it up. Guillermo does his homework as always and fills the whole set with the finest details possible which may have left him a bit non-attentive on the whole course of it. The star cast is well formed, seems suited and does their work with all the conviction but still couldn't factor in to that level. Crimson Peak delivers justice to its genre that offers proper tone and palpable environment for the audience to be amazed and scared by it but what it lacks is a genuine reason and a proper soul.

Crimson Peak (2015) is a Guillermo Del Toro film, which means it has a good chance of being high quality. Del Toro is famous for his acclaimed film, Pans Labrynth. There are good things this had going for it, the director of course, and also the very talented cast. The cast includes Mia Wasikowska, Jessica Chastain, Tom Hiddleston and more. They all played their roles well, special mention for Chastain, who gives a deliciously creepy, spot on performance as the suspicious sister in law. The plot is very intriguing and the advertisements really drew me in to watching it. I like how they executed the plot, for the most part at least. It has a nice build up, gives the characters some depth before just jumping straight into the scary/creepy stuff. But when the creepy stuff comes, it works. I liked that everything had a backstory, throughout most of the film you aren't really sure what all is happening, which is good, it builds suspense. Another big positive here are the visuals, they are just immaculate. The mansion, the snow, the ghosts.... I just really loved both the beautifully done production design and the creepy atmosphere that set the mood. The movie isn't a 10, but it is well done and it is one that I suggest. 8/10 for Crimson Peak.

Would be better without sound. The decor is stunning but the script is abdominal. The script is similar to all other horror movie clichés. When you are in a life threatening situation always stay in the easily escapable situation and shout: who is there?. I don't believe the average human being would act in that way. To me it seems as if non of the actors posses any sense of rationality or danger. A movie for late nights under influence while reading a book with loud music.
