Review of Crimson Peak (2015) by Enrique S — 26 Dec 2015
Crimson Peak, beyond its crude violence or of his excellent photography, its beautiful costumes or their incredible sound or art design, is a film with classic elements of horror film and horror original. Horror Films these days are to become simple, mediocre and stupid, is characterized by having screamers unoriginal and very worn accompanied by a story without sense and boring. But on this occasion, Guillermo Del Toro returns to the horror classic in a spectacular way and subtle, it is not necessary that a ghost appears in front of the screen ridiculously with a cry accompanied to cause terror (Hello paranormal activity), Crimson Peak plays with the sound and the environment (Spoiler) "The scene of the aisle where the ghost is out of the ground is spectacular and terrifying at the same time" the imagination of Del Toro is bright, and the design of the ghosts (as well as visual effects) are unique and excellent. I believe that this film is not completely "terror" as it has romance, mystery and suspense and horror. It is the perfect combination between the imagination of Del Toro with a history of mystery to the purest style of Alfred Hitchcock.
Review en Español:
Crimson Peak, mas allá de su cruda violencia o de su excelente fotografía, su bello vestuario o su increíble sonido o diseño de arte, es una película con elementos clásicos del cine de terror y horror original. El cine de terror de estos tiempos se a vuelto simple, mediocre y estúpido, se caracteriza por tener screamers poco originales y muy gastados acompañados de una historia sin sentido y aburrida. Pero en esta ocasión, Guillermo Del Toro retorna al horror clásico de una manera espectacular y sutil, no hace falta que un fantasma aparezca enfrente de la pantalla ridículamente con un grito acompañado para causar terror (Hola Actividad Paranormal), Crimson Peak juega con el sonido y el ambiente (Spoiler) "Aquella escena del pasillo en donde el fantasma sale del suelo es espectacular y terrorífica a la vez" La imaginación de Del Toro es brillante y el diseño de los fantasmas (así como los efectos visuales) son únicos y excelentes. Considero que esta película no es del todo "terror" pues tiene romance, misterio y suspenso y horror. Es una perfecta combinación entre la imaginación de Del Toro con una historia de misterio al mas puro estilo de Alfred Hitchcock.
