With the horror genre largely dominated by cheap found footage movies lacking in genuine scares, it's good that Guillermo Del Toro is around to provide something dark and Gothic. This fall brings his long-awaited ghost story, Crimson Peak, which prior trailers have revealed to be gorgeous, colorful, and incredibly haunting.
Four new posters capture a little bit of the film's eeriness while introducing the film's stars: Jessica Chastain, Mia Wasikowska, Charlie Hunnam, and Tom Hiddleston. Here's the official synopsis:
Legendary Pictures’ ‘Crimson Peak’, a co-production with Universal Pictures, is a haunting gothic horror story directed by the master of dark fairy tales, Guillermo del Toro (Pan’s Labyrinth, Hellboy series, Pacific Rim), written by del Toro, Matthew Robbins and Lucinda Coxon and starring Mia Wasikowska, Jessica Chastain, Tom Hiddleston and Charlie Hunnam.
In the aftermath of a family tragedy, an aspiring author is torn between love for her childhood friend and the temptation of a mysterious outsider. Trying to escape the ghosts of her past, she is swept away to a house that breathes, bleeds…and remembers.
Prepare to be scared when Crimson Peak opens October 16th.
