Crimson Peak is not a horror film. In the beginning it clearly says this is not a film about ghosts, but one with ghosts in it. It's a Gothic romance that is completely in love with the movies of its history. The film looks absolutely stunning and references classic horror in every way. This isn't a jump scare filled, torture porn, poorly acted mess a lot of horror movies are (thanks Blumhouse for most of then). I'm so glad Universal at least attached their name on something that wasn't artistically bankrupt this year

[@BeyondTheTrailer]

+Blake Johnson Man, have you actually seen this movie? Because THIS is a mess. If this is film that simply happens to have ghosts in it, that doesn't excuse the film from having some of the worst writing of the year and horrible lighting that wastes great sets and costume design.

[@_ma1]

+Blake Johnson It's interesting that you gave some insight into what this movie is, unlike the host that just bashed it with no proper arguments. Grace is the "republican movie critic" just hates everything that she doesn't get.

[@Forran]

+Blake Johnson I wasn't expecting it to be full of jump scares or torture porn (I don't even like those), but I have to confess, I was waiting for something at the same level as the Pan's Labyrinth, full of wonder and mystery, like a well intricate charade... But none of the things that happened where surprising and the building up of the mystery didn't make me curious or excited about what was going to happen next... So I was disappointed...

[@FuSiOnVoX]

+Beyond The Trailer The film is written like a classical story. I'm in high school and I can assure you it felt exactly like reading a dark romantic story like the classics we enjoy. This is a Gothic romance that is very niche for modern times and really grows on you. I really loved it for all the reasons I didn't expect to. Also Grace I know you love movie goer stories and mine was pretty special. I went to an advanced screening of the film with my mom, and she really didn't care to see it, however afterward she really loved it like me. I've never really discussed movies with my mom like this one.

[@James--Parker]

I like the "downgraded" actors better.....

[@MissA0928]

Same here

[@KlingonCaptain]

+James Parker Definitely an upgrade.

[@MyssBlewm]

Yes, completely agree!

[@WithoutRemorse12]

+Digonto Zahid Movie studios try to make their movies have a universal appeal. There are lot of good to great movies with effective to perfect cast that just flop at the Box Office.

[@KeybladeMasterAndy]

Agreed. Stone and Cumberbatch are great, but these guys seem to nail it.

[@BambuProductions]

Del Toro himself has said Crimson Peak isnt a horror movie but a gothic romance.

[@Lianologist]

the spin cycle begins

[@BeyondTheTrailer]

+Bambu Well I think if there was some actual romance in the movie, then that would be an okay excuse.

[@KeybladeMasterAndy]

+Lianologist It's a really old genre that actually sort of fits the bill.

[@warnerbrosuk4724]

+Bambu Good News! Crimson Peak Movie Available Now Stream at plus.google.com/116735225325868208742/posts/9abVcPD9Lbs

[@ProtestantsRUs]

But then he let it get advertised as one.

[@David-un4cs]

"NOT EVEN A DECENT SEX SCENE!!!" Lol, that was hilarious! XD

[@MariaVosa]

I like Cumberbatch but the world is crazy if Hiddleston is ranked as a lesser hire. It's the opposite in my mind.

[@tylinyardas1513]

agree

[@VideaVice25]

+Tylin Yardas Hey she also thinks Chris Evans is wooden as Captain America and Sebastian Stan sucks as Bucky Barnes. So now I know I got watch THIS movie.

[@tylinyardas1513]

Haha i want to as well

[@princess4509]

MariaVosa XENA

[@8T0WNR3PR353NT]

I always forget to turn the volume down for grace's videos when got my earphones in

[@investined]

It great for me as my comp speakers at work suck so her loud videos come through clear

[@hesaidshesaidreviews4903]

Can't picture Emma Stone in that role.. Benedict Cumberbatch would have been good, but I think Tom was the better choice

[@Emma-yg2uf]

+He Said She Said Reviews well i do. I wished she was casted as Edith or Jessica could be a better cast. and yeah Tom is a good choice since he's like civalry on legs.

[@dassahclayton7304]

I loved the film. It's a thriller, it's about the story and emotion not just cheap nudity and blood and guts.

[@melodramatic7904]

I almost didn't watch this film because I thought it was a horror movie. However, the movie itself made it clear through the dialog that it was not a ghost story, but a story with ghosts in it.

[@jdc1979]

Tom is not a downgrade from Benedict and definitely not with Emma to Mia.Mia is a waay better actress by a mile

[@ceceovvarc3290]

I can't agree. If you like Del Toro's movies you'll love this. The girls behind me where crying, I think they liked it more than me.

[@suburiboy]

I feel like the on the nose quality is intentional and is the point. The painting is meant to be a laugh, and the one liner at the end is meant to be a laugh. Edith says at the beginning "The ghosts don't make it a horror film, they are a metaphor." Saying "such and such is a metaphor" explicitly in the movie tips you off; all symbols should be taken with a grain of salt. Unless GDT tells me otherwise, I take that to be a signal that this is meant to be schlocky and fun. Not saying that makes it good... although I thought it was fantastic.

[@David-un4cs]

I actually like the current cast over Benedict Cumberbatch and Emma Stone. I'm sad it might not meet my expectations though. I was hoping it would become a new favorite horror movie!!

[@michaelmark5062]

I feel this is where the Jessica Chastain hate started.

[@roostuidos]

Is it just me that doesn't like Benedict Cumberbatch?

[@uptoedownsasquatch4517]

I don't like him or hate him, I'm indifferent

[@zacheryrankin7955]

Me personally, I don't think he is a good actor. What's the big deal over him. He just looks like a creep.

[@zacheryrankin7955]

Rob Ruiz no. I'm not a fan of Sherlock Holmes and stuff like that

[@zacheryrankin7955]

Rob Ruiz ok. Well I havnt sat through and watched any of his films in its entirety. Wholly because his style doesn't interest me. That's probably why I have that opinion on him.

[@eandrad00]

He has a weird face.

[@thefilmseeker]

I'm curious: Is this a movie that del Toro fans will like that you were disappointed with (not saying you aren't a fan I just don't know)? Like, if I love Pan's Labyrinth, do I have a good chance of enjoying this?

[@NicolasWaldvogel]

I'm not surprised at all that this movie failed meeting expectations since I dont even get, why Del Toro is regarded as such a good director. I mean sure, Pan's Labyrinth was very good but thats like the only good movie this dude has ever made. I enjoyed Pacific Rim for what it was but I think we can all agree when saying that it was a very dumb, poorly acted movie and apart from the entertaining action, nothing special or even well crafted..why's this guy got such a high status I have no idea..great review anyway Grace!

[@kurt05081994]

I really liked this movie, but I had already guessed what was going on from the trailers. the parts that I liked was the amazing set and the characters. I also really liked the parallel they paint with Mary Shelley and Edith. Mary herself married a romantic and left her home to live with him in Germany and Italia and as Edith says she died a widow. it was foreshadowing for what was going to happen to Edith so I really liked that

[@815StoneCold]

If this fails at the box office, Del Toro should just make Hellboy 3. It's very annoying he can't just finish that trilogy

[@rurutuM]

Del toro is the only one standing in the way of Hellboy 3 from being made. He said he needs like 120 mill to produce the movie. That's insane to ask for looking the box office returns of the Hellboy franchise. No studio would take that kind of risk.

[@KhanMann66]

Damn it Del Toro! You ask far too much smh.

[@salinas831100]

+rurutu M well hellboy 3 is supposed to be the apocalypse. .. if a movie is showcasing the end of the world it better be expensive an realistic

[@TheLilwildone007]

I actually really liked it and these actors are way better that's just me

[@Tebigong101]

Damn, I hate horror of any kind really but the trailers of this movie looked intriguing, like Grace said the mystery of Crimson Peak, but apparently not even that is reason enough to sit through something I already am inclined to not like.

[@stridin]

Thanks for the review. Grace you're me telling that you foreclosed on Crimson Peak. After you made a great realtor pitch of selling the trailer. Now I have have to decide to see this or Goosebumps. We'll looking forward for that review.

[@willie9084]

"And not even a decent sex scene" My new favorite quote

[@raf686]

I prefer this any day over paranormal activity uhhhhh lost count!

[@baxterstockman2191]

Wow. not even one positive thing to same about the movie?... not even 1? there must of been something you liked. I thought this was suppose to be a review, with pros & cons.

[@johnrandis2245]

tbh Crimson Peak is the epitome of Shakespearian storytelling and truly a masterpiece of our time. I remember watching it with my son and it was such a great bonding experience, we both went home and made our walls bleed after if you know what i mean. 10 crimson peaks out of 10 (with rice).

[@Stormgazer]

I went into the movie without knowing anything about and loved it! I also love your review of it Grace. You always make me laugh! The portrait got me too. The movie is just so beautiful.

[@KhanMann66]

Well looks like Crimson Peak didn't reach it's "Peak."

[@Thewhitequeen0]

I want to believe in this movie, so I still plan to see it. My fingers are crossed for just a simple difference in opinion, because I typically love movies or stories like these.

[@nikkim2446]

I really liked this movie. It reminded me of a good Lifetime movie on a Sunday afternoon, with a much bigger budget. I don't think that it actually needed the ghosts. I really was, as it's described, a gothic romance. That's pretty much what I was expecting to see so I liked it.

[@brandonmichael5342]

Was anticipating this review and honestly, I'm not surprised in the slightest. Everyone seems to be praising the "picturesque" quality and look of the overall film, but I think they're just mesmerized by Del Toro. Ever since the trailer, this movie looked like a shoddy parody of a film. Don't really plan on watching this tbh. -Brandon

[@supersqueak]

Downgrade? WTF?

[@RJ-Ramen]

Haha "studio notes" lol. Wow, I'm surprised. I like Del Toro and I feel like his take on horror is unique and fantastical. The visuals on this film look very decent. I'll still see it to get my own opinion on it. Del Toro seems to be getting some bad luck recently with Pacific Rim being pushed back and back; Hellboy 3 not happening. Anyway, great video. Very thorough non- spoiler review.

[@EnvisageIt]

What! Tom Hiddleston a down grade from Benedict?!? You have no idea what you are talking about. His acting is top notch.

[@ProtestantsRUs]

OMG EMMA STONE WOULDA BEEN SO MUCH BETTER, but tom was great.

[@dragonMagico1]

I am curios if this is a critique about the movie or about the director....

[@GeekLegionofDoom]

Jeez. scathing! ! I was on the fence about this one to start with as I didn't think the trailers seemed all that strong. Nice review

[@APStudiosThe]

Still a good review, but Aw man :( I was really excited to see this and I kinda still am! This is cast is so great. Box office aside who cares if it's R rated kids can still watch it with an adult if they really want to

[@GeorgeComerci]

Oh man, I am so excited for this movie!

[@steph_lopez]

I love this movie its creepy and kinda controversial with incest. But its a good movie.

[@kokif6490]

How was Charlie Hunnam? Do you think he'll be good as King Arthur and would have a future in movies?

[@ProtestantsRUs]

nohoho clive owen is best

[@EPAZOTEking]

I'm a bit cautious of my excitement for this film now after listening to this review. Just to get a better idea, Grace what do toy think of Del Toro's other stuff like "Hellboy," "Devil's Backbone," or "Pan's Labyrinth"?

[@KhanMann66]

I love Hellboy! Too bad part 3 won't exist.

[@mattalvareznj]

+Ichigo1423jfk actually it's in the works

[@zephoax9638]

Pans labyrinth is one of the finest pieces of cinematography I have ever seen. I wish del Toro could hit the nail on the head like he did with that.

[@KhanMann66]

Zep Hoax Saw the movie years ago. I like it very interesting.

[@sanyrub]

+Zep Hoax It even got an oscar nomination for best film when there were only 5 nominees still. Not common for a film of that genre. It was so good. And no American actors involved. Really rare.

[@wheniseeu1100]

I'm so torn about buying a ticket. I keep hearing mixed reviews about Crimson Peak. I absolutely loved Pans Labyrinth.

[@MyssBlewm]

My del Toro fangirl heart will still go watch this, though cautiously now. Considering that you're saying that the sex scene is safe, I'm still going with my initial thought that the R rating is from the copious amounts of blood used in the film.

[@harial]

Omg LOL. I've seriously been saying since I saw the first trailer that this movie looks like what Disney's The Haunted Mansion would have looked like if they'd taken it seriously. Though I was going more off the colorful and bright color and lighting choices.

[@coleclay7192]

I got a crimson peak ad before I watched the video.

[@PlasticBlueCowboy]

Thanks for the review... My expectations were so low after this that when I saw it, it surpassed what I thought it would be. Going in knowing it's more of a dark romance than a horror movie and just has creepy images and some ghosts made a world of difference. I ended up loving the movie for what it was and I really don't see how if you didn't care for it, there wasn't some elements that made the film watchable. This review makes it sound terrible. It's not half bad at all and I thought it was a damn fine movie.

[@bbbnnnlll]

I'm disappointed to hear that the plot was so silly and derivative, but I still plan to see it, because the visuals look so impressive in the trailer.

[@addisonratcatcher3287]

Darn, I was really looking forward to this movie. I'm going to see it tomorrow, but this is really discouraging. thanks for the review Grace. as always I look to your thought and opinions first :)

[@Deepidea102]

i watched it today and every thing from the cinematography, directing and production design was amazing EXCEPT the writing was not that good at all.

[@GraceRandolph]

+zohair286 EXACTLY! Although I personally didn't care for the lighting choices either.

[@NHC2000]

Wow Wow Grace Randolph, the level of beauty from you on this video, GOD, you are illuminating everything!

[@phelipemonforte6565]

I am so excited to see what they bring to the big screen! 👌🏼👌🏼

[@DCUOMultiverse]

That was a fun review. ;) ;)

[@Darkknight2149]

This is not a film for mainstream audiences. The misleading marketing was aiming for the wrong viewers and the studio spent way too much money on it (the marketing was everywhere!). I really feel that the type of audience that enjoys this type of film is very specific, even if the film tried to be mainstream at points (such as the film trying to turn the main character into the cliched "strong female character" that needs no man but always ends up getting one anyway).

[@chrisdavidi]

nooo so sad you thought this is a fail. thanks for the review grace, gonna have to see it for myself now.

[@darrendsz9459]

"Well, at least the film will be a little bit perverted" haha that line cracked me up :D

[@lissawhitney]

Really? Del Torro has been very successful. Pans Labyrinth is one of the greatest films of the last 10 years. This is not a 'ghost' story horror film. It is a gothic drama. The fact that you were disappointed there wasn't a sex scene or cheap thrills really speaks a lot to your levels of taste. The script might have been lacking, but the visuals of this film are undeniably beautiful, and the script is not nearly as bad as you depict it to be.

[@juannunez5767]

I guess I'll be sticking to Hammer movies from the 60's and 70's.

[@faithmercy7647]

I don't like to go to the movies but I've planned going to see this one. I like the choice of movie stars choice as well.

[@IronBuddha80]

I love Pan's Labyrinth and both of the Hellboy movies, since then Del Toro has become one of those directors I'm always anxious to see what he does next. Sadly this is the second time now since then he has disappointed me.

[@TheTotallyTackyTaco]

LOKI

[@icarre82]

I will watch this movie anyway!! This weekend, and I am sure I won't be disappointed.

[@investined]

I didn't plan on seeing this in theatres anyway, but still sucks if it's not as great as hype. I'll will check other reviews anyway to see if they differ from yours.

[@stephen.insalaco93]

I was so excited to see this, are there any points of brilliance?

[@enimavix]

It was baaad. I had all the time cringing. The ghosts were short handed in my opinion. I have no idea why they're there. The plot twist, I knew it from the moment I saw Jessica Chastain's character.

[@MarkLemonds]

OMG Grace..review the movie already

[@simbasible]

I don't want sex in movies, you have porn for it. Jesus Christ.

[@lowkey866]

Why do you judge the movie by the 2015 while the movie is supposed to be all in past mentality and beautiful art.I enjoyed it so much.It was beautiful.

[@juliemaloney2419]

Oh no! I'm so worried about the Haunted Mansion movie now. I really wanted that to be good. I hope the writers learn from this. If they mess up the hitchhiking ghosts I'm gonna me mad.

[@juliemaloney2419]

*be

[@zephoax9638]

I love your videos, but I don't see how a sex scene could save a movie in any way. I myself am a huge fan of del Toro and can't wait to see this movie. I just think relying on a sex scene to save a movie is somewhat amateur.

[@aftax22]

thanks grace for telling me this movie doesn't have any skin at all.

[@TGChinappi]

I saw it last night and I must say, it actually wasn't that bad.

[@randomnessandfun7811]

good review, plus your hair looks really pretty in this video

[@fourth1000]

cant stand costume dramas.. and costume horrors.

[@fourth1000]

I personally find it distracting- like the costumes and sets usually overpowering the story. But I hope you enjoy it and get what you're looking for.

[@rurutuM]

Del toro doesn't understand horror audience that see these movies in theaters. They are young 20 year olds that doesn't have a lot of movie history and knowledge of old classic horror. They aren't going to go see something that isn't marketed right.

[@missxmarvel]

The Story would have been much better If it was a Eerie Ghost story like those Asian horror stories. With a creepy house and evil buggers lurking around.

[@BlairWaldorf2013]

I kept looking at Grace thinking one side doesn't look like the other...one eye has full rimmed liner and the other doesn't. Lol...that's kinda cute it's like she couldn't even get the eye routine in because this movie is so stupid and she needed to tell us!

[@drjameselliott]

Grace, what are your top 5 Ghost Stories? :-)

[@jaystarr6571]

+drjameselliott Now that's a good question.

[@APStudiosThe]

I'm seeing for my girl Jessica

[@millygribben5267]

+AP Studios ditto

[@ChristineBends]

I'm sorry Grace - but how is Mia Wasikowska a downgrade from Emma Roberts?

[@m.o.485]

Great movie! I absolutely loved it! It reminded me of The Shining and The Fall of The House of Usher. It's a shame that some people can't see that

[@CJ-ww6vm]

Bad review blond girl. your opinion only. keep your opinion as you are not the rest of us. the movie was great! well done, well acted, totally entertaining. thank you Del Toro!!

[@zionhacker1]

I don't know if this movie is worth the ticket price. I've heard mixed things from friends who have attended screenings. I think Goosebumps might be a safer bet since it's doing well on Rotten Tomatoes and I've heard some good thins from friends too.

[@raf686]

I prefer to see it myself and be the judge of it instead of following what others think.

[@zionhacker1]

Ralf 24​ It's incredible that people actually go out of their way to defend certain movies, and say exactly what you said. But at other times those same exact people talk shit about other movies and actually find ways to humiliate them.

[@raf686]

Mario Ortiz well Iam not those other people. Secondly I can't defend a movie if I have not seen it. I need to see first if Iam to say if it is a good or bad movie. But I also don't go by what others say, I prefer to have my own thoughts about the movie. Now can I say a movie is bad? Yes I can, but I don't talk shit about it. That's just a waist of my time. If someone else likes that bad movie I was referring then I will say "ok if you like then awesome" because they have opinions. But not everyone will be just like you described it 

[@zionhacker1]

***** yeah I agree in that people should see it first, but like I said, I've seen some people just talk shit about a movie based on it's trailer when in fact they haven't seen the movie themselves. While others just say crap for the fun of it. Ralf 24​ is correct in that we should all see everything and then judge afterwards.

[@doragrace9171]

Crimson peek trailer was playing at the beginning of this

[@JoseMunozV]

I'll wacth this movie, the cast and the director are good, and the rotten tomatoes score it's decent, I hope i enjoy it.

[@rodrilover17]

I liked the movie but it could of been better. First of all I like mia wasikowski but she's pretty bland and generic at the beginning she is better at playing her character towards the end but as I was watching the movie I thought emma stone would have added the quirkiness they were going for her character at the beginning. I also wished their was more ghost and it reminded me of a book because in a book sometimes character investigate things over and over and over again but since this was a movie it slowed it down. I wish the relationship part would of been the part that was slowed down to be more believable. And I also wasn't a big fan of the transitions. But despite all these issues I thought it was a good movie and it feels like it may be a classic..... Eventually.

[@MyMpie]

Great video as always! I'm gonna see this movie

[@jdc1979]

Id watch the movie rather than believe the reviews

[@DeutschWish]

I completely disagree with this review.

[@mariamendez-eq7cc]

is been some time since I actually agree with you but I respect your opinion and I did like the movie

[@MrBigred29]

Dear god in heaven they have forgot how to make movies any more ,and I was going too watch it :( :( :(

[@RLSteve]

LOL, Grace, you crack me up!!

[@SeanMcklo]

legendary go back to Warner!

[@frikintrash5360]

By the 3:20 mark I'm already spoiled

[@aslandarklion1]

well... here's another movie I'm not watching. saving my money for SW, BVS, Cap CW, and SS.

[@EDxCortezzz]

Was this a review? If so it was a pretty poor one

[@jervishorton7372]

Sex scene: WHAT YOU KNOW ABOUT THE DEVIL AND MS JONES

[@skinnersweet1263]

WTF !!!? NO descent wet & hot sequence!!!? I can't take THAT щ(ﾟﾛﾟщ). Geeez you're seriously saying that film doesn't work in every way. If it's true, it must've the major problem in the beginning though. I hope that's not a cape. No offense, Grace. I'm gonna check other reviewers as well before I watch it by myself.

[@skinnersweet1263]

***** I dunno !?(；・ω・)

[@buciallstar]

+Skinner Sweet one should always check out multiple reviews. For example, I read/watched multiple reviews on Fant4stic. Everyone was bashing that movie, but lone Grace said, it had some very great moments. When I watched it, I was prepared for the worst, but in the end, the movie was completely fine. Sure, it won't win any awards, but it wasn't the disaster everyone made it out to be.

[@skinnersweet1263]

buciallstar​ I know !! Grace made sounds like this film falls in short every possible ways. I just want to know whether Del Toro meant to deceive one's perception or not. I guess this not your business that checking out many reviews is the quickest way to know how a film, I've waiting for, taking shape ever since I live in non-Englishsoeaking country. So how do you think "Crimson Peak" coming out at this point ?

[@halfminutehero99]

Sounds like the Audience really effected your viewing of the movie, doesn't help trying to take a movie seriously or give it a chance when you have a bunch of assholes laughing at certain points (then again I don't live in america, where I think this is the norm for some reason). I thought the portrait was fine, Iv seen other movies do this type of thing a lot worse and it was still accepted by the lemming audiences. Recommend viewing movies at times of day when people aren't there, I went to see this in the morning and thought it was pretty good old fashioned movie.

[@brodierule5373]

disappointed to hear this, really wanted to see it!
