"Crimson Peak" is an awesome film. It's directed by Guillermo Del Toro who previously made the Masterpiece "Pan's Labyrinth", and while I don't think it's nearly as good as Pan's Labyrinth, Crimson Peak is still a great film.
Easily the best part of Crimson Peak is it's visuals. The movie's visuals are enough to keep you entertained through Visual Stimulus alone. I really mean it when I say the production design is absolutely incredible and the use of color over it is some of the best I've ever seen. It's insanely impressive and fits the Artsy Haunted Mansion theme perfectly.
Now, it does have problems. Some plot points aren't explained very well, and there are a couple plot holes I noticed. Here are some examples: There's a scene later in the movie where after Edith realizes that the tea they're giving to her is poisoned, and she refuses to drink it, but continues eating the porridge. As if she didn't think for a second that they probably poisoned the porridge too?
There's another scene where they stab the doctor, and the doctor pulls out the knife from his deep stab wound. Wouldn't the doctor know that you're not supposed to pull it out, because you would leave a gap that now blood will start pouring out faster? Apparently, Tom Hiddleston's character didn't realize this either, because when he get's stabbed in the cheek, he too pulls it out.
But with problems aside, Crimson Peak is still a great movie and one that I would recommend.
8/10
