Crimson Peak. A luscious movie by Guillermo del Toro. Victorian Gothic. Just what we love to spend time doing together – watching dark, lavish films.
We met in film school. Can it be 30 years ago already?
Losing ourselves in the big screen, talking for hours about the script, the acting, the director choices, and the public reviews, we deep dive into the problems with films.
Crismon Peak was different. It was a gothic horror in the classic sense and Del Toro knows how to get all the way into that sexy genre that I adore. Add to that exquisite costuming and now I have the kind of historical fiction that feeds our desire for something… something… viscerally satisfying.
