60 of 291 · most liked firstSaw Del Toro’s FRANKENSTEIN on 35mm at the Angelika. Much like CRIMSON PEAK I think you need to go in understanding that this is not a horror movie, it is a melodrama. And it’s a good one that I enjoyed very much. Also, man. The monsterfuckers are eating well with this flick
positive · AI labelView post →I think a big reason Silent Hill 2006 looks so much better than Return to Silent Hill is down to the cinematography. The first movie was done by Dan Laustsen who has worked on Crimson Peak, Shape of Water and Frankentstein whereas Return to Silent Hill was by a guy who worked on the REC sequels.

positive · AI labelView post →Last night I went to a very delightful event where Nightmare on Film Street hosts Jonathan and Kimmi were selling and signing this lil book. So to try it out, I made their Beware Crimson Peak based on @realgdt.bsky.social ‘s 2015 film Crimson Peak!
neutral · AI labelView post →Crimson Peak is an absolutely stellar Gothic Romance and a fucking horrible horror movie but it was never meant to be a horror movie and the marketing team screwed it by setting incorrect expectations.
neutral · AI labelView post →The line of @realgdt.bsky.social movie figures from NECA is still one of the best collections they’ve released. I do wish we had gotten a few more films and shows added. Crimson Peak, The Strain, and Mimic would have all yielded some tea fun figures.

positive · AI labelView post →Rewatched Crimson Peak for the first time since it came out and it’s fun that Guillermo Del Toro made a film that was basically like “capitalists are so fucking weird and will literally kill and exploit and stain the earth red to hold onto any power they have.” plus you see tom hiddleston’s butt

neutral · AI labelView post →" Ghosts are real, this much I know " A very sketchy crimson peak colour study, I wish more horror movies used vibrant and intense colours like this one, when done well they can make a film so much more memorable and interesting. #crimsonpeak #art #colorstudy #digitalart #horror

neutral · AI labelView post →Friday night we went to see FRANKENSTEIN at one of my favorite local theaters. I felt like the movie was another solid installation of the GDT realm, covering much of the same material as CRIMSON PEAK & THE SHAPE OF WATER, with many echoes of the visual systems he's created across his career.
neutral · AI labelView post →Oh man, I haven’t loved a Guillermo Del Toro film this much since Crimson Peak.
positive · AI labelView post →somehow I didn’t see Crimson Peak until now which is frankly incredible given how much this movie is For Me. Please note, I watched The Haunting on repeat as a child and it made me who I am.

positive · AI labelView post →In keeping with the tradition of telling ghost stories at Christmas I'm counting Crimson Peak as a Christmas movie.
neutral · AI labelView post →Tonight, we showed Crimson Peak to a literally sold-out crowd at Stray Cat Film Center. When the guy said, "In America, we bank on effort, not privilege," the entire theater cracked the fuck up.
neutral · AI labelView post →Nightmare Alley (2021). Like Crimson Peak (2015), it will get "rediscovered" 15 years from now. A gorgeous film, trembling with a death drive and rich wood paneled rooms. It makes me smile to see the Del Toro repertory players pop up in small parts, like Jim Beaver in a memorable scene as a sheriff.
positive · AI labelView post →Crimson Peak is a criminally under-rated movie, and this looks to have a whole lot of CP's visual DNA.

neutral · AI labelView post →FRANKENSTEIN is so damn good!!!!!!!! Beautiful, elegant, and soulful. I loved every second. A few more watches and it might unseat CRIMSON PEAK as my favorite GDT film. Time will tell...
positive · AI labelView post →Crimson Peak is one of my fav spooky movies and I really enjoyed recreating Edith’s finale nightgown. I’d love to make another Edith costume one of these days, every costume from that movie is just so good. #crimsonpeak #cosplay
positive · AI labelView post →I watched Jane Eyre (2011) last night. The movie was fine, definitely made more interested in reading the books. But also made me realize how much Crimson Peak was Guillermo Del Toro's take on Jane Eyre specifically lol.
neutral · AI labelView post →Remember when CRIMSON PEAK got a lot of bad reviews because the studio promoted it as a horror film but what del Toro gave us was a dark gothic romance? That's what worries me about FRANKENSTEIN. I have a feeling it's more gothic than horror. Will the studios fuck that up again?
neutral · AI labelView post →You've inherited a movie theater, what's your first double feature? (Everyone knows I 🖤 Crimson Peak w/ my whole being but if you haven't seen Spanish-language film El Orfanato, directed by J. A. Bayona & you like ghost stories, watch it immediately. Hard not to put The Others on here too, though)
positive · AI labelView post →Picking a random film from my collection to show off for no real reason! Day #210 "Crimson Peak" (Guillermo del Toro/2015) GdT's wonderfully gothic ghost story. Rich atmosphere that reminds me of the old Corman AIP Poe films. The Arrow limited edition release of this title is stellar! Check it out.
positive · AI labelView post →Day 30, #Junesploitation - Italian Horror! We end the month with some Bava. Because of course we do. Have you seen this? The only Gothic horror film that's more beautiful than this one is probably CRIMSON PEAK and that is it. This is the sort of situation we have here. So watch it if you haven't!

positive · AI labelView post →8. Allerdale Hall, Crimson Peak. "Slippy, the house isn't a char--" Yes it is. It's the best character in a movie full of perfect characters. On this one I am not open to debate.
positive · AI labelView post →everytime i hear about someone complaining about how awkward and awful it is to watch a movie with a sex scene in it with your parents, i remember the time my sister and i went to see Crimson Peak in the theater together.

neutral · AI labelView post →I think...Crimson Peak has become my favorite horror movie. It checks a lot of my boxes.
positive · AI labelView post →just finished Frankenstein in theaters— I have SO MANY THOUGHTS!!! but primarily GDT’s style fits soooo well with gothic horror (prev evidenced by Crimson Peak!) and the movie was very very beautiful!

positive · AI labelView post →#HorrorWritersChat I think SINNERS is one of the most incredible films ever made & will be regarded as historic in its cultural importance. Of course, if I could freshly experience @realgdt.bsky.social's CRIMSON PEAK again & again, I would. As a goth & Gothic novelist, I consider it a perfect film.

neutral · AI labelView post →Del Toro really nails gothic horror. This film is a great companion piece to Crimson Peak. I also am glad to see him treat the film with sincerity. Some might find it cheesy at times, but I thought it was refreshing in these harshly cynical times. See it in cinemas this week if you can!
neutral · AI labelView post →There are moments where I am struck by the realization that, for my sensibilities, CRIMSON PEAK might just be the most visually ravishing & gorgeous film I have ever seen. I can even tell you when these moments occur: every single time I watch the movie, without fail
positive · AI labelView post →156. The Devil's Backbone (dir. Del Toro, 2001). Del Toro loved that unique effect for his ghosts in this film he'd later recycle the same aesthetic for Crimson Peak. Some might call it laziness, I call it a recurring leitmotif.

neutral · AI labelView post →If have never seen Crimson Peak, is it an extraordinary experience by Guillermo de Toro. The ultimate Gothic film, which in many ways resembles visually his Frankenstein, as well as pays tribute to Corben and Wrightson. It’s a must-see. @realgdt.bsky.social @guydavisart.bsky.social
positive · AI labelView post →Crimson Peak is my favorite Del Toro film and this write up help explained to me why. There's tears on my face. Well done.
positive · AI labelView post →I am about to have a horrorgasm here, because this is my thing. I am me, and write gothic horror that is often historical. Most of my fiction has historical elements. The Castle of Otranto, Horace Walpole. "The Bloody Chamber," Angela Carter "Crimson Peak" (movie, but sue me) #HorrorWritersChat
neutral · AI labelView post →Anyway, I will never accept any Crimson Peak slander and if the success of Frankenstein is what it takes for that movie to be reappraised, then GOOD
positive · AI labelView post →Its not bad by any means, it's a beautiful film, but agaisnt films like Crimson Peak, Devil's Backbone and Shape of Water its definitely not his best. I wonder what it would have looked like if Netflix wasnt the distributor...how much more practical we could have gotten.
neutral · AI labelView post →Next film I'm watching is also a vampire movie, Cronos by Guillermo Del Toro that just FINALLY came out in France in this absolutly beautiful edition (And I bought a second version of Crimson Peak while I was at it because it's my fav Del Toro movie so I wanted the 4K collector)
positive · AI labelView post →Film Study <Crimson Peak> #filmstudy #artstudy #illstration
neutral · AI labelView post →Watched Crimson Peak with the teenagers 2 nights ago. It is a fantastic and underrated film - visually gorgeous, and quite propulsive. You just have to lean into the proliferation of gothic tropes and enjoy del Toro's complete commitment: he takes his material seriously, himself not at all.
positive · AI labelView post →I imagine he’s trying to avoid what happened with Crimson Peak which was sold as a modern historical horror movie instead of a gothic dark romance in the style of the Brontes, Ann Radcliffe and Horace Walpole.
