An excellent Gothic ghost story with super visuals, beautiful costumes and an abominable crime; everything was easy on the eyes. The bonus material showed the creative process in set colors, settings and Buffalo in 1901 etc.

I loved this film so much I bought it. As a theatrical lighting designer, I bought it because Del Toro is as master of lighting to create atmosphere. It's gorgeous! The other reason was Tom Hiddleston, who is a favorite actor of mine since…

del Torro is the master of building terrifying atmospheres and he does an excellent job in Crimson Peak. The mansion is truly one so frightening, I think I would run out within minutes of stepping through the door. The house literally…

The only redeeming quality in this flick was Edith's (Wasikowska) gowns. This was not her best work. Some scenes dragged on. Too much gore and violence. She's my sister, she's my daughter. Well, in this case, she's his sister, she's his…

Visually stunning work by Del Toro, a good array of talented cast and a classic ghost story tale as was intended by Del Toro aiming for an older horror feel for this classy portrayal. Worth a watch for any open minded fan of old horror,…

I must admit that there is very good acting all around in the film, there were at least a few interesting plot twists, and it is visually striking. However, the plot left quite a bit to be desired. For one, the circumstances of the murder…
I have to say that this movie is one of the most beautiful movies I have ever seen, but plot-wise, there are many slow points. This movie has been categorized as ‘horror’, but it really is just a dark, gothic-victorian romance movie. There…

2022 I thought I had watched this before and 5 minutes in I remembered I had, but finished it anyway. The women’s costumes are incredibly gorgeous. The back drop/setting is very lush. The ghosts are way cool scary. But the dialogue is…
Absolutely amazing movie . Guillermo del Toro is such an amazing director . The effects, the story and it's progression, oh lords!!! a fantasy loving girl like me dug this movie so so much . Checking it out again because it's my type of…

A little bit of a letdown for me, not because it was bad, but because its story didn't engage me much. I found the twists predictable and the CG ghosts a bit too much to be chilling (then again, the ghosts prove to be not what they seem,…

I love the Victorian gothic style of this movie. It is not your typical ghost story. I love re-watching this movie. Tom Hiddleston is as gorgeous as ever.

I found this to be a well crafted and suspenseful film, with brooding images in contrast to bright colours. I watched this film because of it being a Guillermo del Toro creation. Good cast and although the story has been told before, this…

Amazing, it just. Kept. Getting. Worse. The credits were better than the movie. I tried to give it a chance even though it didn't seem to be my thing, and I regret it. Even Thomas Hiddleston cannot make me enjoy a stupid horror movie (butt…
This movie is a huge disappointment. That's the only reason I left this comment.
这部电影很令人失望. 演员好, 画面好, 特效好, 都抵不过情节是个败笔. 剧情毫无新意, 角色让人无法产生共鸣, 台词也没有出采之处. 浪费两个小时.

I admit that I know many Gothic Romances. This is definitely an attempt to bring back this sort of bygone experience of the modern age by bringing it to Industrial Revolution America. This isn't exactly the best period piece, but it…

A solid return to gothic ghost stories, with the innocent young girl swept up by the rich handsome nobleman and whisked off to his creepy ancestral home. The cinematography, sets, and special effects made for a visually stunning movie,…

Jim Beaver, who plays Bobby on the TV show Supernatural, is a treat in this really gorgeous film. If you like gothic novels like The Woman in White or The Romance of the Forest or Uncle Silas, you'll enjoy this. If you're expecting another…
