Hogy Guillermo ezúttal nem csak a produkcióhoz ragaszkodott, azt csak úgy lehet érteni, hogy két honoráriumra volt szüksége. Témáját illetően nem túl ötletes, alig méltó a 90 perc játékidőhöz. Ráadásul a feszültség nem működik benne, és a wao hatást maradi fogásokkal próbál létrehozni. De a díszlet igazán gyönyörű, a szereposztás kiváló, és az időnként előforduló véres jelenetek is kielégítőek. Az ebből kialakuló "twisted románc" potenciálja ennél több lehetőséget kínált. De akkor Guillermo-nak nem szabadna igyekeznie megfelelni a széles közönségnek, és kénytelen lenne egy hátborzongatóbb húron pendülni. Kár, hogy a jellegzetes és varázslatos filmes világok alkotója ilyesmivel foglalkozik.

Gothic horror movie should, by its very nature, contain elements of romance, as well as Gothic novel should contain elements of horror. There is no doubt about that. But this ration must be well-balanced, whether in favor of horror movie with elements of romance or the other way around. Which is exactly where Toro fails. He took half-and-half approach and so it's neither a dog nor a cat, but a kind of hybrid covering two genres, which does not work very well in either department and the ending of "intense snowy Kill Bill final" is not appropriate in terms of genre rules. Audio-visuals are highlighted too much and it lacks a decent story line (it would hardly be enough for a short story), atmosphere, mystery, pace or just a hint of tension between the characters. If del Toro wanted to make the Gothic subgenre more interesting for today's youth, he did not pick his battle very wisely. If his intention was a traditional movie of this subgenre, then he failed terribly. If he tried to pay tribute to Hammer’s horror movies, he did exactly the opposite in a very disrespectful way. In any case, we must admit that the aforementioned audio-visual side of things is really impressive (except for the horrible CGI nonsense...I mean, ghosts and I do not think that in the gothic genre movie it needs to be so obvious) and along with the cast that does their best, is the only thing that makes it bearable.

I was wary because to me Del Toro is a pretty overrated director, but en the end I loved Crimson Peak for its artistic style – its not very original story notwithstanding – and I’m giving it almost the highest rating. The money put on it can really be seen. Given that right now there aren’t that many big narrative horror films, I don’t think it’d be fair to throw Crimson Peak among the average. The cast is wonderful, finally someone who really knows how to act in a genre film. A proper gothic-horror in the best sense of the word, and I’m sure it will make it to my TOP 10 this year.

Guillermo del Toro can create an atmosphere and a beautiful scenery; you can’t deny that with any of his movies. But the flow of storytelling can sometimes be an issue and it doesn’t let his movies be perfect experiences.For the first 50 minutes, I thought I’d die of the worst possible movie boredom. It wasn’t until Mia found out that she was on Crimson Peak that it all started to get good. Especially since the atmosphere of the house itself began to show. I must admit, it’s been a long time since I’ve seen two completely different movie halves. While the first half of the movie is awfully boring, the second half is what makes the movie worth watching.

I'm not at all surprised that Stephen King likes Crimson Peak so much. It is based on the idea that he so often and gladly promotes (and which was most recently used in the similarly great Dream House), namely that supernatural beings are often the last thing we should fear. Much worse are simply the living flesh-and-blood people. Guillermo del Toro made this romantic horror drama with great clarity. Visually, it is something beautiful (especially the bright colors are very refreshing in this genre, but all the period costumes are a joy to look at as well), in the quiet conversational scenes I was really interested in who was saying what to whom and why, and in the harsher to rough scenes (which the film is definitely not afraid of, see especially the sink and the heart attack ending) I was as tense as a string. In short, everything as it should be, including the performances of the main trio of actors, of which I must once again highlight the amazing Jessica Chastain. Well, we should. And now the third Hellboy, please.
