It has been a long time since I have seen an old fashion ghost story. True there have been plenty of movies over the years that have feature ghost and hauntings, but many have followed a similar concept to the point where it has become old-hat. So in this time of need, who should we call to give us a ghostly tale? How about acclaimed director Guillermo Del Toro? The man behind movies like
Pan's Labyrinth and
Pacific Rim comes to the world of horror with the new film
Crimson Peak. With its haunting advertisement and its genuine creepiness,
Crimson Peak looked to be a fitting film for the Halloween Season. So the question is did
Crimson Peak haunt moviegoers or is this ghost story just a regular horror flick.
Crimson Peak centers on author Edith Cushing (Mia Wasikowska). Things in Edith's life change when she meets the charming Thomas Sharpe (Tom Hiddleston); the mysterious man that she soon marries. The newlyweds head to Thomas' manor where the two plan to live along with Thomas's sister: Lucille Sharpe (Jessica Chastain). However Edith begins to notice strange happenings in the manor as the young woman is haunted by ghosts . Edith soon realizes that her husband, and his sister, have a dark secret.
