Guillermo del Toro wrote and directed "Crimson Peak," which came out in 2015, and it’s a Gothic drama mixing mystery and horror. The story centers on a young woman—played by Mia Wasikowska—in the early years of the nineteen hundreds who finds herself drawn to an enigmatic Englishman (Tom Hiddleston). She follows him to a decaying English manor house where his strange older sister also resides (Jessica Chastain). As time goes on, spirits from the past begin to appear, eventually revealing what’s really going on. The film shares qualities with other haunted Gothic movies like "Jane Eyre" and "House of Usher"—both stories that have been adapted for the screen multiple times—as well as films such as “Bram Stoker’s Dracula” (1992), “The Others” (2001) and “Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein” (1994). However, it doesn't reach the level of over-the-top drama seen in "Frankenstein." The frightening elements are more subdued than those found in "Dracula" or "Frankenstein," which is why I think of “The Others.” Other movies that evoke a similar feel include “Demons of the Mind” (1972) and “The Eternal” (1998). If you enjoy films like these, you’ll likely find something to appreciate in "Crimson Peak." I have to say, this is one of the most beautiful-looking movies I've ever seen. Consider, for example, the many scenes featuring Edith (Mia) walking through the opulent hallways wearing a captivating white nightgown and with long blond hair. The Gothic atmosphere is breathtaking. Some viewers might find the story unremarkable, but it’s not any better or worse than the plots of those seven films I mentioned earlier. While the initial part set in Buffalo feels a little slow, things get more interesting once Edith (Mia) moves to the unsettling English estate, which has clearly seen better days. I came across a critic's list of twelve questions intended to find fault with the film, but I was able to answer them all without much trouble—it seemed like that critic was deliberately trying to dislike something. Any possible criticism is easily resolved by noticing details within the movie or simply paying attention to what’s implied. "Crimson Peak" has a running time of 1 hour and 59 minutes and was filmed in Hamilton, Kingston, and Toronto, Canada. Matthew Robbins also contributed as an additional writer. I give it a B grade.
