Leave your thoughts about Crimson Peak.
| RogerEbert.comSheila O'MalleyCrimson Peak's atmosphere crackles with sexual passion and dark secrets. There are a couple of monsters (supernatural and human), but the gigantic emotions are the most terrifying thing onscreen. |
| CinemaBlend.comMike ReyesCrimson Peak will make you believe in ghosts, but it will also make you believe in the magic of the movies yet again. |
| Baltimore MagazineMax WeissNot only did I love every silly, gothic, gorgeous minute of Guillermo del Toro's Crimson Peak, I'm actually suspicious of those who didn't. |
| 4:3Felix HubbleWith a reasonable smattering of gore, and some absolutely breathtaking set and costume design, del Toro's final product is a truly unique beast. |
| Commercial Appeal (Memphis, TN)John BeifussAn exquisitely rendered, color-coded amplification of a Corman/Poe film of the 1960s; the characters' intense but concealed emotions find vivid expression in the elaborate design, the flayed agony of the ghosts and the infrequent but shocking violence. |
| La Vanguardia (Spain)Jordi BatlleAn extremely poetic film, full of all the tropes of the genre but made with a los of love. This is the works of a truly passionate filmmaker. [Full revire in Spanish] |
| Mountain Xpress (Asheville, NC)Ken HankeGuillermo del Toro's gothic horror, haunted house shocker -- perhaps the most visually striking film of the year -- is in a class by itself. A rich and effective horror movie. |
| Q Network Film DeskJames Kendrickan impressive, overripe cinematic feat that makes up for its somewhat pedestrian plotting with a stunning visual imagination that impresses in both the scope and detail with which it merges so many of del Toro's cultural obsessions |
| MLive.comJohn SerbaDel Toro, co-writing with Matthew Robbins, nurtures the stately tone of Victorian times so he can haunt its romanticism with deeply repressed sins. |
