SYNOPSIS:
Mia Wasikowska plays Edith Cushing, a young author in 19th
century England, who finds out that her new handsome and charming husband, Sir
Thomas Sharpe, played by Tom Hiddleston, hides a mysterious past.
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 starring Mia Wasikowska,
Jessica Chastain, Tom Hiddleston, Charlie Hunnam and Jim Beaver. 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. Thomas Tull, Jon Jashni, del Toro and Callum Greene produce, and
Jillian Share executive produces.
When her heart
is stolen by a seductive stranger, a young woman is swept away to a house atop
a mountain of blood-red clay: a place filled with secrets that will haunt her
forever. Between desire and darkness, between mystery and madness, lies the
truth behind Crimson Peak.
From the imagination of director Guillermo del Toro comes a
supernatural mystery starring Tom Hiddleston, Jessica Chastain, Mia Wasikowska
and Charlie Hunnam.
Set in Cumbria, in a crumbling mansion in a largely rural and
mountainous region of northern England in the 19th century, young author Edith
Cushing (Wasikowska) discovers that her charming new husband Sir Thomas Sharpe
(Hiddleston) is not who he appears to be.
It's all between Desires and Darkness...
ReplyDeleteA tremendously creepy testament to Del Toro's ability to build richly beautiful settings, tell hauntingly indelible stories, and present a bevy of horrifying images for the audience to digest. "Crimson Peak" is truly a shockingly mysterious delight.
