Crimson Peak

Hello Everyone,

Spoiler Alert!!!!!

     Well it's time for another film review and for all you who cannot wait for Halloween are in for a real treat this week. Because this week the film will really get you in the mood for Saturday. And if you don't like Halloween or not a horror fan then maybe you should stop reading this post right now and wait for the next one. But if your someone who can't get enough gore than you are in the right place. Now let;s get started with the review of Crimson Peak.

     First thing is the way I would describe this film is gory, graphic, freaky and disturbing. So basically everything that Guillermo del Toro is known for. When I first saw the trailer and I saw Guillermo del Toro directed it, I knew it had to be gory. And that was just fine with me because for me the bloodier a horror movie is, the better. Because what's the point of watching horror if its not gory. Another reason I wanted to see the film is because I was looking for a film I could watch in Halloween. I enjoy watching horror movies on Halloween, its the best time to watch horror and try to scare yourself. So this movie was a good way to say goodbye to October 2015. I also enjoy watching Tom Hiddelston play a role that is not Marvel related. It gives him a chance to branch out in his acting. Though I do love him as Loki but every now and then its nice to see him playing a different role. And his role in this was the furthest from Loki then he could possibly get. And he was great as well as the other actors in it and everything the role called for them to do, they did. The acting was one of the things that made the movie really fun to watch.

     What I thought was clever was the way they edited the trailer was misleading then what the film actually is. When I first saw the trailer I thought the movie was going to an haunted house type of thing but it was the exact opposite. And I like that the trailer did that because that's what the trailer is supposed to do. Make you think one thing so you will be surprised when you actually see the movie. And as I was watching the film I was surprised at every turn and it made the movie that much more enjoyable. Because it was more surprising that meant there were more moments that either made you jump or made you think "oh shit" which is always the best part of a horror movie.

     On top of being gory it was also graphic, they showed things that are normally covered in most movies or at the very least tamed down. But this film is rated "R" so enough said. Now pretty much everything about the film is disturbing but what makes it truly disturbing is the climax where everything is revealed. Now I won't give it away but lets just say if and when you do see it, you are going to "oh my God" or "so that's what was going on on the whole time." And that is what really seals it of being a really good horror flick. 

     So if you guys want to have your pants scared right off of you, or your looking for something to do on Halloween then I suggest you check out Crimson Peak. It is a gory, graphic, freaky and disturbing film that you will be able to watch every Hallows eve.
