Such a frustrating disappointment

It's hard to see any effort in the film. There's no comedy to speak of, no real drama and, worst of all.

if their story seems completely bonkers, almost like a feverish work of fiction, you ain't heard nothing yet.

Hardly I can describe my feeling after all. This movie unique and the story too. All of actors played very well. Was not scary but have a different feelings. tom is absolutly greatest actor. He played really well Thomas character. I not like horrors but that's going to my favourite

The lighting in this film is gorgeous, both adding to the atmosphere and implying subtle details about the characters. Cinematography is beautiful, with eerie and sinister props/settings. This really adds to the lighting effects. I loved the snow gracefully falling down the scenes. Costumes were suited to the time period and again adds to the atmosphere.Guillermo del toro crafts a suspenseful and scary tone, as I really became worried for the main character! The plot being really interesting as well. However, sometimes the main character can be quite naive, which sometimes becomes a little frustrating. But this may not bother some and probably represents the time period. A great watch for halloween or just in general!

I enjoyed this film as it has that Guillermo Del Toro style to it which means some very good visuals. He crafted a very lovely period piece that injects us into a world where things are not as they seem and where one wonders who to trust. That being said, when revelations were made, there was not anything all that surprising and I honestly thought the ending would entail something cooler. Still, it was a pretty good story, just nothing that is really going to be making you gasp in surprise. The house within the film looks incredible and is a house that I would love to explore and they actually apparently made the entire house; unfortunately, they promptly tore it down after filming to make room in the studio.The story has a young woman recount the first time she had seen a ghost. It happened to be her mother and the apparition carried with it a warning to stay away from Crimson Peak. Years later the young woman meets a strange man from Europe. He is trying to garner funds so that he may create a device to get the red clay that resides on his land out of the earth so that it may be processed and used. The young woman's father scoffs at the idea and is immediately suspicious of the stranger from another land. This stranger soon begins to warm up to the daughter which makes the father more suspicious. Well, in the end the young woman ends up married to the stranger and they head off to he and his sister's very dilapidated mansion. During her stay there she sees things within the walls as the very house seems to have a life of its own, but the true terror may reside in the heart of her husband! The acting is really good. I liked the guy who played the father as I liked how he was immediately suspicious. Tom Hiddlestone was great as the mysterious stranger too. The true star though was that really warped house they created as it looked incredibly creepy. A house that seems ready to collapse at any time. Honestly, I am surprised the character of Edith did not just turn around once she set foot inside that thing. Looks like it would be cool to explore, but there is a freaking hole in the ceiling where it constantly is raining debris down below! So I enjoyed the film, would have been better with a bit more supernatural flair to it. It does have supernatural elements to it, but I was expecting it to be more supernatural than it turned out to be. It is Guillermo though so his movies generally have a look to them that can make up for the fact that sometimes the story is lacking. This one's look does that as does the acting in it. I am pretty sure most figured out what was going on fairly quickly, but it is just a matter of how it plays out.

This movie reminded me of a Hammer film or a Vincent Price Edger Allen Poe film. It was well acted and the set designs and special effects were excellent. The red clay looked like blood coming from the earth. This is a very original movie. In fact I have never seen a movie on this subject matter before. The "crimson peak" looked eerie covered in snow. I would recommend this movie.
