Movie review. Crimson Peak.
This is a difficult movie to review on account of I'm not sure what it is.
I think it's world building, a beautiful dangerous strange world of the main character's mind. I think it was described as a fever dream. But there is a reality in it all and the main character, Edith, has to sort out dangerous reality from scary but harmless dreams, to trust her judgement and determine her own fate.
( Fever dreams and hallucinations used to be a much more common phenomenon . Caused by the fevers of TB or malnutrition or poisoning by the environment or contaminated food. )
4 hobbits, will have to watch again
Crimson Peak is a gothic romance / drama. The mistake a lot of people make is thinking it's a horror. If you do that you will be sorely disappointed.
I did get that.
