    Crimson Peak

    Reviewed by

    Crimson Peak is another in a long line of films that suffers from an identity crisis. Is it a psychological horror thriller or a Gothic romance? Should it focus on sumptuous visuals or reign in the special effects in favor of developing it's characters? The film never seems to decide, and thus is unlikely to please people looking for either. It's too slow for hardcore horror fans looking to bask in blood and ghastly apparitions, yet far too violent for those seeking a more contemplative supernatural romance. It doesn't help that the plot is entirely predictable and takes it's sweet time, nor that the two romantic leads aren't particularly compelling. Jessica Chastain as the secretive sister and the terrific production design are the only bright spots here. Somewhat of a disappointment from a filmmaker as talented Guillermo del Toro.
