Mia Wasikowska, Tom Hiddleston and Jessica Chastain star in Guillermo del Toro's new horror
After the blockbusting behemoth that was 2013's Pacific Rim, Guillermo del Toro's next film, set in 19th-century Cumbria, is a return to the supernatural horror that made his name.
Crimson Peak is the story of Edith Cushing (played by the Australian actress Mia Wasikowska), a young writer who marries the mysterious Sir Thomas Sharpe (Tom Hiddleston) and goes to make a life in Allerdale Hall, his dismal gothic pile.
Once there she discovers that Sharpe and his sister (Jessica Chastain) may be hiding secrets from her. "Ghosts are real," she says. "I've seen them all my life."
CRIMSON PEA
Del Toro says that his film was inspired by some of the great haunted house movies of the past: films such as The Haunting, Robert Wise's 1963 adaptation of Shirley Jackson's The Haunting of Hill House, and The Innocents (1961), which was based on Henry James's novella The Turn of the Screw.
Horror writer Stephen King, who attended an early screening of the film, has already sung its praises on Twitter.
