Crimson Peak (2015)
Directed by Guillermo
del Toro this film stars Mia Wasikowska, Tom Hiddleston and Jessica
Chastain. The daughter of an American industrialist falls in love
with a struggling English aristocrat but is he all he seems?
Taking it's cue from
many great Gothic books and films it feels at times this film forgets
to be something itself as it is too busy respecting the genre.
Containing many familiar genre elements the plot does not really
stand out or have a lot of depth to it. As you would expect from the
director the production values are excellent but maybe this is too
much style over substance.
3/5
