Critics Consensus

Crimson Peak offers an engaging -- albeit somewhat slight -- diversion driven by a delightfully creepy atmosphere and director Guillermo del Toro's brilliant knack for unforgettable visuals.

Anton Bitel

Little White Lies

This is headily sumptuous, seductive filmmaking, beautiful and grotesque, with the best-realised ghosts since del Toro’s own The Devil’s Backbone (2001).

Complex

What [Guillermo] del Toro had in mind when shooting Crimson Peak was probably a stylish gothic period piece in the same acclaimed lane as Pan's Labyrinth. Unfortunately, Crimson Peak fails to work on that level.

Rated: 3/5

Baltimore Magazine

Not only did I love every silly, gothic, gorgeous minute of Guillermo del Toro's Crimson Peak, I'm actually suspicious of those who didn't.

Gothic romance with notes of horror, bathed in the unreal and magical colors of a baroque Italian horror and brought to life by Guillermo Del Toro’s beating heart of compassion in the face of evil.

JoBlo's Movie Network

This is a goth horror movie that is reminiscent of Hammer and other old timey studios, it’s goth horror that knows how to build a few scares, but mainly how to build attachments to the characters to make you feel their plight.

Rated: 4.5/5

Crimson Peak doesn't entirely land its horror or romance elements, but the costume and production design, plus Jessica Chastain's villainous turn, are utterly sumptuous.

Rated: 3.5/5

A dull and boring waste of incredible talent. A visually mediocre, poorly casted and soullessly conceptualised bucket of mop water... 3/10.

This movie is my absolute favourite. It's so hauntingly beautiful, I find myself getting lost in it every. single. time. I hardly have words to describe the feelings this film evokes. Between the set and costume design it is as though I have been transported back in time.

Hauntingly Beautiful Gothic Romance Guillermo del Toro is a director and artist whose films fall into two distinct categories: big budget English language blockbusters like "Hellboy" and "Pacific Rim" and lesser known, low budget Spanish language horror films like "Devil's Backbone" and "Pan's Labyrinth". His latest film, "Crimson Peak" is what happens when these two worlds collide, in other words, a big budget English language horror film. "Crimson Peak" is set in the late 19th century, first in New York, then in rural England. Edith Cushing (Mia Wasikowska) is a young budding writer who is intelligent, beautiful, and strong willed, refusing to
