Crimson Peak damn near perfect! It is visually stunning, it has a wonderful score and it’s compelling to watch. Guillermo del Toro is a master of filmmaking and a master of macabre imagery.
Directed and co-written by del Toro, Crimson Peak as pulled out all the stops, with a score that is reminiscent of the old Universal classics, a production design as rich and bizarre as Hellboy or Pan’s Labyrinth, and a cast that’s reaching for a whole fistful of Oscars: Jessica Chastain, Tom Hiddleston, Mia Wasikowska, Charlie Hunnam, Jim Beaver and the ever-creepy Doug Jones, among many others.
Crimson Peak is romantic and sexy and it just went to the top of my list for 2015.
