Crimson Peak	comment	Crimson Peak is another approach of Guillermo del Toro to ghost stories, released in October 2015. It is — in his own words — a classic gothic horror romance with a modern take. The film stars Mia Wasikowska, Tom Hiddleston, Jessica Chastain and Charlie Hunnam.The year is 1901 and Edith Cushing (Mia Wasikowska) is a young writer with a troubled past, who marries Sir Thomas Sharpe (Tom Hiddleston) and moves to his mansion home, Allerdale Hall, in Cumbria where he resides with his sister Lady Lucille Sharpe (Jessica Chastain). But (par for the course with a del Toro film) Edith discovers that Sir Thomas is not what he appears to be...The first official trailer can be watched here. The second one is here, and another variation of it here.

Crimson Peak / int_14beeefd	comment	Darker and Edgier: The film is a love letter to Victorian Gothic Romances, but while any sex and violence in those stories were strictly subtext or off-screen, in this film they're much more explicit. Also, while the standard Tall, Dark, and Handsome Byronic Hero usually turns out to be innocent of slanderous accusations, in this movie he is very much guilty of the crimes he's accused of.

Del Toro himself has been quite vocal about what genre the film is (Gothic Romance in this case) and the film even spawned a few articles on how deceitful trailers can be to the annoyance of the audience.

Crimson Peak / int_3ce914fb	comment	Macabre Moth Motif: Throughout the film, there is a consistent moths vs. butterflies motif. Lucille starts off by drawing Edith's attention to some butterflies dying because of the cold, and how only hard, but ugly moths live in the Sharpe's home. And what do the moths feed on? Pretty things. This is exceptionally visible in the attic nursery for Thomas and Lucille, where the place is infested with moths. By the climax, we see Lucille has a butterfly collection, and even a collection of hair from all of Thomas' dead brides. Driving this symbolism home is that the dying butterflies were gold colored, just like most of Edith's favorite dresses. While the moths were black and blue. Two of Lucille and Thomas' main colors throughout the film.

When she asks "Different to who?" he nervously covers up his slip by saying "To everyone." He means that as a modern Spirited Young Lady, she's so different to the European aristocrats he's married in the past. It's also highly likely he's referring to Lucille as well, as Edith is pretty much the opposite of Lucille in every way.

But — if we're going with the standard del Toro view on the afterlife in his films — Lucille and her victims are probably trapped as ghosts forever, just as miserable and despairing in death as they were in life. Still, Edith's narration at the end implies that with the violent murders that tied the ghosts to the mansion now being discovered and the murderers killed, it's possible the other ghosts were able to move on, while Lucille will be trapped there forever.

Crimson Peak / int_586624e5	comment	Genius Loci: In one of the trailers, Thomas says the following: "A house as old as this one becomes, in time, a living thing. It starts holding onto things. Some of them good, some are bad. Some should never be spoken about again." Subverted In the film, the house's sounds and its "blood" have mundane explanations. The place is haunted, but it's not a Genius Loci. The quote was from a deleted scene where Thomas reads an excerpt from Edith's book. According to Tom Hiddleston, the word "FEAR" is marked on the wall in the entryway; it isn't visible in the final film, but del Toro allegedly wanted it to be there to add to the atmosphere.

Thomas can be seen fidgeting to take the knife out, and when he succeeds, we are left with a brief shot of his gaping wound.

The black ghosts are clinging to some emotional drive that keeps them on Earth(Edith's mother wants to warn her daughter about Crimson Peak and Lucille is terrified of leaving her house); the red ghosts died violently and still show signs of how they were murdered, and the one white ghost seen in the film (Thomas) is about to move onto the afterlife. This reflects the outfits the three main characters wear: Thomas wears black because he's trapped by the house and the Sharpe family name and a sense of duty, Lucille wears red because she's a violent murderess, and Edith wears white because she's a modern girl who wants to move forward with her life and society.

"It's not a ghost story, it's a story with a ghost, the ghost is a metaphor for the past" being the most telling. Her mention that characters will sometimes change in ways she didn't expect, as if on their own, also foreshadows that Thomas will have a Heelâ€“Face Turn and help her. Edith's remark that she'd rather be like Mary Shelley than Jane Austen because the former "died a widow" is doubly ironic: First, because Edith herself is a widow by the end of the film, and secondly, because Mary Shelley's husband, Percy Shelley, had a fascination with incest, represented in such luridly Gothic major works as "Laon and Cythna" and "The Cenci". When the McMichaels brag about Thomas' aristocratic status as a baronet, Edith refers to him as a "parasite". The Sharpes are able to survive in the early 20th century by taking advantage of young women who fall in love with Thomas. Edith and Alan discuss the Sherlock Holmes novel on his bookshelf, and Alan compares himself to Arthur Conan Doyle. Later, Alan does some detective work of his own. When Edith stirs Thomas's feelings with a tender and passionate speech, he says in wonderment that she's so different. When she asks "Different to who?" he nervously covers up his slip by saying "To everyone." He means that as a modern Spirited Young Lady, she's so different to the European aristocrats he's married in the past. It's also highly likely he's referring to Lucille as well, as Edith is pretty much the opposite of Lucille in every way. Regarding Lucille, there are multiple signs of her true nature early on in the film: In her first scene, her face tenses up when she sees Thomas walk in with Edith. A reaction more suited to a jealous woman rather than a sister. Not only that, her ring is one of the first things we see about her. When Carter bribes the Sharpes so that they will leave Edith alone, he incorrectly judges her as the more stable one. We see she is anything but. After Thomas and Edith marry and they return to England. Lucille hugs her brother for an uncomfortably long time and in a way to make Edith jealous.

Crimson Peak / int_c75df49a	type	Shout-Out
Crimson Peak / int_c75df49a	comment	Shout-Out: One of this movie's trailers features a cover of Nick Cave's song "Red Right Hand". Another cover was featured in Del Toro's earlier Hellboy. Edith and Thomas resemble Katrina and Ichabod from Sleepy Hollow (1999) (petite pale girl with flowing blonde hair with a sensitivity to the supernatural and tall pale brunette guy with a troubled childhood), another homage to Hammer Horror films. The film opens with a child's voice singing a creepy lullaby, all alone and echoing strangely, just like the opening of The Innocents, which shares more than a few items in common with Crimson Peak. Edith opens a closet door to check for the dog, and a ghost yanks the door closed from the inside. A discarded wheelchair serves as foreshadowing, but may also be a reference to Silent Hill, of which Del Toro is a fan. Even the film's DP Dan Lausten worked on the cinematic adaptation of the series. The final shot of a ghostly Lucille, all in black, slowly turning into frame is close to the final shot of The Woman in Black. Thomas' ghost shares the same appearance as Santi's: skin that looks like cracked porcelain, yellow eyes, blood pouring out like smoke from the wound that killed them... The finale plays out as an intense cat-and-mouse game between the protagonist and a mentally unstable murderer in the middle of a snow storm, which appears to be a reference to the ending of The Shining. There is also a scene involving the ghost of a woman in a bathtub, recalling The Shining's room 237. Finally, Alan's story arc has a fair bit in common with that of Dick Halloran, with the major difference that Alan lives. Edith's surname is inspired by Peter Cushing of Hammer Horror fame, and during the climax she stabs Lucille in the chest with her pen, almost staking her in the heart. What was one of the roles Cushing was most famous for playing, again? A butterfly down to be crawled over in close-up by ants seems a reference to the beginning of Blue Velvet. The plot about Edith stealing the cellar's key in a Bluebeard fashion, and the cellar containing the proof of illicit activities. Also her drink is ritually poisoned by an evil in-law and then she's saved in extremis by a former suitor. All of this comes straight from Alfred Hitchcock 's Notorious. Lucille's claim that she and Thomas were locked in the attic a lot as kids could be a subtle reference to Flowers in the Attic. There are also obvious parallels between this movie and "The Fall of the House of Usher", what with a brother and sister living together in a crumbling old mansion, with an added dash of incest (implied in the Poe story, explicit in the movie) for good measure.

Crimson Peak / int_fc5dd45e	type	Lodged Blade Removal
Crimson Peak / int_fc5dd45e	comment	Lodged Blade Removal: Both Thomas Sharpe and Alan McMichael remove knives from their bodies after being stabbed, resulting in Thomas dying and Alan narrowly surviving (albeit with considerable blood loss). While the first case is forgivable as Thomas was stabbed in the face and would have died anyway, Alan is a doctor and really should know better.

Crimson Peak / int_fdf22cfd	comment	Evil Is Hammy: In the beginning of the movie, Lucille is pretty restrained in her nature. But once certain secrets and plot twists start hitting the fan in the third act, she becomes a hysterical, screaming mad woman.

Crimson Peak / int_ffb55ae3	type	Fauxshadow
Crimson Peak / int_ffb55ae3	comment	Fauxshadow: Just after Carter is shown shaving himself in the bathroom and notices that he is not alone, the camera ominously lingers on his razor. While he is indeed murdered shortly afterwards, it's not by having his throat cut, but by blunt force trauma to the head. The film repeatedly draws attention to the fact that the ground beneath Allerdale Hall is unstable, causing the house to sink deeper with every year. This seems to suggest that the building will collapse over the course of the story, but nothing of the sort ever happens.
