[@tommer1873]

This movie is not a ghost story, it's a movie with ghosts in it. It's a metaphor.

[@ferchsakura]

God daaaaaaaaaaaaaamn. Kill em. You saw the movie my friend.

[@VoVina111]

BAM!

[@pollyjagger4169]

The protagonist says that very early in the film and the critics still don't get it :p

[@officert5147]

Ahahaa gottem!

[@ryeleyschlup7320]

yes

[@TheSuperNats]

In crimson peak the lead character writes a story. The person who reads it says "it's a ghost story" she corrects him by saying "it's a story with ghosts." That's exactly what this movie is.

[@MrHorscraft]

That joker voice at the end! God dayum thats pretty damn good.

[@gooflydo]

+Horscraft I had moved to another tab when his end music started playing " waiting for the next autoplay" and then i heard him do the joker and i was like " did I click on the darknight by accident or something" tab back and was like ALRIGHT JEREMY RIGHT ON! I think he should go into voice acting.

[@Lmix211]

you are so right! read your comment before I watched the video and while watching it I was just waiting for the moment.

[@gundamnmechas8518]

+Horscraft I usually leave right when he punches the screen, but I saw your comment and waited lol

[@MrHorscraft]

cloudrule2 leaf a like, hisssssss

[@ca20mn]

+Horscraft immediately dislike after you put hissss

[@KoolKeithProductions]

Who stayed around till the very end and saw that Joker bit? :D

[@voesten64]

me

[@juice7738]

I did. it was awesome.

[@KoolKeithProductions]

c:

[@whodatboi2567]

yep

[@evan5557]

+David Manic He meant the end of the video, not the end of the movie

[@JessiCa-hh8qb]

The problem was the marketing, del toro said that it is an gothic romance, the studio said that it is an horror movie... See the Problem? I liked it though

[@willpoweramv]

Lol screw the review, you said a new Star Wars trailer is dropping!!!? FUCK YEA!!!

[@daolchang]

+RunRobotRun911 it isnt confirmed confirmed but the rumor is pretty strong and been running for like 2 weeks now

[@alexman378]

Oh boy, how badly did that go… We were so excited…

[@Weasel_oo]

​@alexman378 There's no way I was gonna write this too 🤣🤣

[@JesMarieBlondieJones]

Well to be fair... the director did say it's more of a "Gothic Romance" then a "Horror Story".

[@cordia96]

+JesMarie Jones Link, please.

[@gottfriedosterbach3907]

+crewmate CineFix people stated that Del Toro hosted a premier that they attended and quoted him as saying that.

[@JesMarieBlondieJones]

*****​ Link to what?

[@JesMarieBlondieJones]

It's here on YT you just have to find it, it's a behind the scenes video.

[@cordia96]

JesMarie Jones On wikipedia, del Toro said in preproduction that The Shining, The Omen and The Haunting were inspirations. I will still give CP a chance. Maybe trashed, like recommanded.

[@ΆρτεμιςΠατερνά]

The ghosts were the ones that helped her find out what was going on! Without their warnings she would have died! Besides, that's what really got me in this movie. Real horror doesn't come frome ghosts, it comes from people!

[@ChrisTheCreed]

That is one spot one ledger joker at the end lol

[@MrREAPERsz]

Why so seriousah!!!!

[@HashSl1ng1ngSlasher]

+ChrisTheCreed I want him to do an entire video in that voice.

[@emyf9197]

+HashSl1ng1ngSlasher good idea! would be a treat for all joker fans inc. me

[@petermemnoch]

+Taylor Williams Why so SUPER serial?

[@Jackie_Tan95]

It was so good

[@2lazy4username34]

Am I the only one that actually enjoyed this movie?

[@mystuffedrabbitliu1499]

+The Fake Slim Shady I like it to

[@louisa1167]

+MyStuffedRabbit Liu too

[@2lazy4username34]

Louis Azzilonna Like I seriously think this is gonna be one of the most misunderstood movies this year,

[@mystuffedrabbitliu1499]

+The Fake Slim Shady I agree with you. I like it because it was made to think is one way but its its really a different way and I like the fact that not all good looking ghost are good and not all scary ghost are bad. I know he said the ghost did nothing but to me they did. I just say do not judge a book by its covers.

[@xelelezanine7]

Hey guys, help me. Who really sent that letter from Milan, Italy? Because E.S. was dead, so how that letter came to Jane?

[@Preda.Y]

the movie actually foreshadows the ghosts-add-nothing part. When Edith is presenting her book she says it isn't a "ghost story", but a story "with a ghost in it"

[@ferchsakura]

Honestly I liked this movie. I loved it, actually. Yes it is cliche, and for me even if it isn't scary it is still horror. I would rather watch this, than watch a movie that relies it's horror in gore and "scary-jumps" and a damn super extra cliche ending. I enjoyed this, and to be fair Del Toro said it was more of Gothic Romance than horror. He does not only do horror, he has other good movies like Julia's Eyes which is more of suspense. I guess the horror I like is more poetic, story based and visual than most 12 year olds out here that like movies like "Paranormal Activity." Enjoy being scared by sounds.

[@yanmagno3]

this is probably the only video on youtube that doesn't have any reptillian/hiss comments yet. Enjoy this rare view while you can, people who are also not stupid

[@half-hazard8903]

I don't get what that's from.

[@skyeannesredeyeproductions4210]

What is that about anyway?

[@avisfrost2959]

HISSSSSSSSSS

[@StevenChungTop10]

+Nicolas Ribcage IT'S HAPPENING ON YT, TOO!? Jesus...I went insane during one of my friend's Twitch LiveStreams, because it was nothing but "HISSSSS!" It's obnoxious.

[@thunderwolf2005]

+Nicolas Ribcage is that the latest thing? is that what the morons are pushing towards? i dont even know what that shit is from but i have a feeling even if i did i still wouldnt get it. god i hate memes.

[@danieltsmoke]

3:49 holy shit, he wasnt kidding.

[@CopperSucks]

No, he wasn't lol. That was spot on.

[@sirrparker47]

Toro needs to learn that game play > graphics

[@cordia96]

+Big Boss If he still wants to make a game, I'm gonna play the shit out of it. First Sundown, than inSANE, now Silent Hills.

[@madisonwhovian943]

+crewmate Except Silent Hills got cancelled. :(

[@Xaviikinz]

+Madison Whovian Well, there _was_ a petition that people managed to get to the attention of Del Toro himself (who signed it too), _and_ they were planning to bring it before Kojima too, -but I don't really know how that ended-. Scratch that, I found it again (www.change.org/p/kojima-productions-continue-working-on-silent-hills). Seems like it's still going, but they're 13.099 signatures short.

[@madisonwhovian943]

Xaviikinz​ Oh good! I was wondering what happened with that. Hopefully it can bring it back 

[@Slimshadow457]

+Big Boss In movies, that's not how it works.

[@apolloptx]

FUN FACT: The ghosts weren't CGI AT ALL! Those were actors in costume and make up. Cmon Jeremy, you're better than this.

[@TomCat06]

More than anything, I still want Del Toro to pull off At The Mountains of Madness someday. That would be truly awesome

[@hnjahnjah]

+Tom Pen If for no other reason,he could truly give the Lovecraftian creatures a great look.

[@mandridhugh9555]

+Tom Pen Well before the fiasco with Silent Hills it was confirmed he got the approved funds to make it, but the amount seemed a little much, I recall him asking for around $160,000,000

[@thomasdanforth766]

+Tristan Hamm He's not doing for the elders, he's doing it for the shoggoth, not once has the shoggoth been captured on the big screen before, and the mere thought of him making it look realistic is scary because they have no real definable features other than being blob-ish

[@LenkyLad]

+Tom Pen I was afraid I was the only one thinking about that, I know Del Toro has wanted to do it for a while.

[@imploreyoutoreconsider5092]

+Tristan Hamm You know there was something that kinda looked like an Elder Thing in Hellboy 2, it was where the government guy's talking to Abe in the beginning.

[@daleyemissions]

What I've learned from watching Schmoes Know, Jeremy Jahns and Chris Stuckmann's channels, is that these people are not film literate. If you knew *anything* about Gothic Romance & Horror literature, Hammer Production's work in the early 60's to late 70's, or Giallo.... Than 'Crimson Peak' wouldn't have just made sense, but would've worked on such a profoundly awesome level. If Mario Bava and Dario Argento had collaborated with Emily Bronte.... and then you took what came from that union and filtered it through 'The Devil's Backbone'; 'Crimson Peak' would have been the result. If you're not familiar with any of that, than don't slam the movie for not being what you wanted it to be: The Conjuring Again. I'm so sick of hearing: it's a ghost movie without the scares/ghosts or a horror movie that isn't about the horror, it's like you fundamentally just miss the point of all of del Toro's work- *H-U-M-A-N-S* are the monsters, and the monsters are innocence.

[@bloodofemo]

thank you ! :D

[@ferchsakura]

Omfg I just love you whoever you are.

[@j0hn5mi7h3]

Well, I kinda got it when Edith says that it's not a ghost story but a love story with ghosts; the ghosts merely being metaphors for the past. And GDT did say it was a gothic romance... Yep seems kinda dippy that he thought it wasn't good cuz the ghosts weren't scary. Cmon Jeremy, get well soon.

[@nobudy111]

+Zack Daley YES, THIS IS THE TRUTH! Thank you for pointing this out :)

[@jonny5779]

well said!!😃👏👏i completely agree!!

[@carl_anderson9315]

Great review, but I honestly think this movie is a masterpiece. This is definitely one of the most beautiful movies ever done in recent years and there are many allegories in its plot that are not explicit, but very subtle. What's said is as important than whats not said.

[@tubee103]

Your way off here Jeremy,Crimson Peak was excellent.A gothic tragic romance where the twisted humanity is the Monster,not the ghosts,it sounds like you were expecting one thing but got another and was disappointed,Crimson Peak is more unique and vibrant then the usual run of the mill horror flicks,,,I loved it

[@BJMallory]

Yes!! I went in expecting it to be more horror (and I'm just not a fan of modern so-called horror), and I was so not disappointed with what I got instead! I'm still thinking about it, what ghosts haunted Thomas and especially Lucille, and why. And that key ring, such symbolism!

[@whiteguyricky6316]

For once I actually disagree with Jeremy

[@dasgebargel8025]

The movie was exactly what it was meant to be, it was meant to be a movie-retelling of a gothic novel, and it captured the feeling of those novels perfectly. normally, i would agree on the points you mentioned, but this movie is meant to be as it is. trust me.

[@jadesmediacorner]

Hi, I’m very late lol. I see what you’re saying here and believe me, I am 100% on your side. But you have to understand that not everyone enjoys the gothic romance style. I used to hate it, mainly because I read Jane Eyre and found it to be pointless and boring, but I adore the genre now and think a lot of people disregard this movie because gothic romance is oddly such a dividing genre.

[@Jaclyn]

haha I went to a screening of this set up for KZbin/social media dorks.. I was hoping for more ghost stuff too :P

[@zwordsman]

I really love how he randomly goes in to Joker speak whenever he gets sick. Like every time I can think of

[@Technoguy3]

Can you make a video of just you rattling off Joker lines? Don't miss this opportunity!

[@willpoweramv]

Also that Joker voice at the end gave me chills!

[@christianyoung9808]

That Joker impression. Damn that was spot on

[@haileye2191]

YOUR JOKER IMPRESSION IS EVERYTHING

[@pampofski8751]

You reviewing the new Battlefront? It has half the content of the PS2 games and EA has the audacity to charge $50 for a season pass.

[@mrsnobodyishere]

+Pofski he actually tweeted about it, he's not buying it and doesn't intend to because of the price and EA, so I don't think a review will ever come.

[@pampofski8751]

+mrsnobodyishere Fair enough.

[@RevengeOfMoctezuma]

+Jarod Helminger No, not really.

[@willier47]

It also has NO FUCKIN voice chat. In 2015!!!!

[@mattaeweavs6056]

do you guys seriously need game chat? I always just get into a party and play with my friends....

[@w-james9277]

That is the best Joker impression iv ever heard.

[@MrVavo007]

Joker's voice at the end is awesometacular

[@randomollieD]

The ghosts have nothing to do with the plot of this film. That being said at the start of the film the ghosts in Edith's book is labeled as a metaphor. My guess is that these ghosts are a metaphor. A short while after Edith and Dr. Alan are looking at pictures of ghosts. He says that they are there and that when you look back at the picture it's too late. The ghosts are a warning that's too late. Every time a ghost appears it comes from a room or area that has a dark secret. By the time Edith finally gets around to looking at those areas it's too late. She missed her opportunity to see it. Like the people in the picture where too late to see the ghosts until after. Anyway that's what I think of the ghosts in the film.

[@MyBebopBlues]

This movie didn't really Peak my interest.

[@freddykrueger3890]

You suck at Puns!!!

[@TonyQuinn]

😎 AHHHH!!!

[@jeremyyap380]

+MyBebopBlues BAH DUM TSS!!!

[@RDeathmark]

+MyBebopBlues did you mean pique?

[@MyBebopBlues]

RDeathmark Nope, Peak was used instead of pique cause of the movie's title.

[@pickwill101]

That thumbnail though, pretty much sums up the reason why I love this channel. Keep up the good work Jeremy Jahns.

[@THEEVANTHETOON]

Could you please review Monty Python and the Holy Grail? The Big Lebowski? Napoleon Dynamite?

[@knedy]

+THEEVANTHETOON Hey! And how's about he'll review the sun while he's at it seeing as he'll be reviewing shit *EVERYBODY'S ALREADY SEEN!* ...you dicktard. Yours in Christ, Jimbo

[@moonkoto]

+Jim Stewart Cohen He has reviewed stuff like the Star Wars and the old Batman movies, so fuck off

[@moonkoto]

Aww, someone's mad because I made them look like a dumbass

[@tmzissupergay]

+Jim Stewart Cohen oh there was a joke in one of your comments. Man I wish you said something earlier. Do you want me to act like I'm laughing?

[@knedy]

tmzissupergay Who are you and why are you talking to me? This is between me and that man with the little girl hands!

[@okokokokokok7499]

That heath ledger joker impersonation was too real!! 😱 Props Jeremy 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

[@julian-ew2tx]

Am I the only one that doesnt gives a fuck about star wars?

[@hi-jg1lv]

run! run while you still have the chance!

[@5carecrow94]

Yeah, I think you are.

[@austinclemens2729]

u better run man seriously angry fans will find you.

[@alissa6]

+Leandro Martinez Nope, me too. And throw in Harry Potter, hunger games, walking dead, flash and arrow too.

[@Drudenfusz]

Obvious troll is obvious!

[@KNU_TV]

That Joker impersonation was on point. Bravo Jeremy. Bravo.

[@herberthutchinson5377]

Jessica Chastain was so FKN awesome she makes the most worth appearance. Also, as John says, excellent visuals and cinematography. I watched it in IMAX....still worth seeing!

[@PestileNCe85]

Anyone who saw enough of Del Toro's films will know that this is how his movies work. They are normally about a dark situation in reality while there is something supernatural in the background. Not for everyone, but I love it.

[@user-vd2jk7dl3p]

thumbs up for the Joker impression :-)

[@Carlos-ln8fd]

top five impression by jeremy jahns: 5. arnold 4. stan lee 3. vincent d'nofrio in daredevil 2. smeagol 1. heath ledger's joker (when he has a cold)

[@shelbydont]

There is one minor instance where a ghost might have been useful. *SPOILERS FOR ANYONE WHO HASN'T SEEN THE FILM* In the beginning, when the lead girl is staying home from the dance or whatever, and if her ghost mom hadn't come to her room and scared her (with the intent of warning her to stay away from Tom Hiddleston), she wouldn't have been spooked enough to leave the house with Tom Hiddleston. So her ghost mom was counterproductive and pushed her daughter directly into Tom Hiddleston, which led to them marrying. So I guess a ghost did affect the plot, just in the complete opposite way the ghost intended, and honestly, Tom Hiddleston probably could've found a way to charm her anyway.

[@giomeler8509]

doreime You called him Tom Hiddleston from the start till the end of the comment although that’s not the name of the character but from the actor who plays the character you’re referring to all the time. That just killed me cause it made me imagine everything as if the character actually was Tom Hiddleston and that made me just laugh so fucking hard lmao

[@tanner1ie]

Particularly since starring in 2010's Alice in Wonderland, Mia Wasikowska is a pretty big actress and she'd been getting some pretty big featured roles since at least 2008's Defiance (when i first noticed her), while several people praised her performance in the t.v. show, In Treatment, which was seemingly one of her big breaks, early on in her career, which helped put her on the Hollywood map. She's at least the lead co-star, if not the lead star of this film (Imdb and Wikipedia both list her name before Jessica Chastain and Tom Hiddleston), but i find it very strange that Jeremy didn't even attempt to say her name in this video. He called her,"This girl, that girl, the main girl" etc, even if he didn't know how to pronounce Wasikowska, which even though she was born and grew up in Australia, being a name of Polish origin, the "W's" are pronounced as if they're "V's", but even if didn't know that, he could have easily said her surname as many English speakers do, ignoring the Polish pronunciation and said the "W's" like English "W's", or said, "Mia, i'm sorry, i don't know how to say her last name, so i'm going to call her, Mia W for the rest of the video.", either option would have been better than basically dismissing her, by calling her, "this girl"etc :_ .

[@mandridhugh9555]

Really surprising how this turned out considering the comment added in the first trailer "So scary, it electrifies me" *Stephen King* was that actually him that said it? or did he only just see as much as we did?

[@Rasabacon]

OMFG JEREMY I AM IN LOVE WITH YOUR JOKER IMPRESSION AT THE END!

[@rouzbehba1780]

I wish you get well soon. But DAMN I want to listen to you talking like heath Ledger's joker!

[@erumbaig3633]

the fact that u made this despite your voice dying... kinda shows how passionate you are about what you do. props jeremy!! :D hope you feel better!!

[@Fallingslowly09]

I actually enjoyed it. Yeah, it was pretty predictable and nothing I haven't seen before but I liked watching it all play out. Also, Jessica Chastain needs to at least be nominated for a Golden Globe for her performance. She was awesome!

[@tali6844]

Dammit Jeremy, I hate it when you're sick, I always feel bad because you sound so sick and you keep doing review. It's awesome how dedicated you are to your fans/your job.

[@SalekeenNayeem]

Guillermo Del Toro twitted himself that this movie IS NOT IN HORROR GENRE! THIS MOVIE IS GOTHIC LOVE STORY!

[@SalekeenNayeem]

+Salekeen Nayeem twitter.com/RealGDT/status/652833489847386112 there you go !!!

[@oakmitchell5805]

I agree, I was hoping the film would be longer and go further than it did, and I wanted much more from the ghosts. But, this movie made me feel things that other horror films have not succeeded in making me feel since The Shining. I thought overall, it was well done and worth seeing in the cinema. I have very few complaints, and it kept me guessing until the end. Also, there are a lot of subtle touches that really brought to my attention the care that was put into to making it.

[@MrGMANStudios]

The fact that the movie wasn't about the ghosts that much didn't really bother me. It was more of a gothic thriller than a movie about ghosts, even though there are still ghosts in it.

[@caimanamiac]

Around the beginning of the movie, when someone summaries her manuscript and talks about how the ghosts in her story are "just there" and are a "metaphor"...that scene pretty much sets up the whole movie quite cleverly.

[@444Nightshade]

that thumbnail is 21spooky420me

[@marifer4426]

I guess I get your point but I do believe that ghosts were not the main characters/conflict in the movie. As Mia said it her self as a mirror from her own novel: "It's a story with a ghost in it. Not a ghost story." The ghosts are allusions to regrets and hatreds from the past. I agree that the best performances were taken away by Tom and Jessica but I think Mia and Charlie did ok. I totally agree with the visual part. It was GORGEOUS. Very Del Toro style.

[@DarranKern]

This movie deserves a "dogshit" for the lying trailer alone.

[@cordia96]

+Darran Kern del Toro had little to do with the marketing. That's usually up to some asshats.

[@PhoKingNick]

A lot of times, it's not the movie's fault. The marketing team is the one that made the mistake. Sometimes directors have no control over what they do. Even M. Night Shyamalan blames the marketing team for how poorly received the village was for leading people to believe it was a horror movie.

[@DarranKern]

Fair enough. What else does the movie have going for it except for great cinematography and set design. I've seen a lot of pretty piles of crap and a lot of not so amazingly shot masterpieces.

[@gottfriedosterbach3907]

+Darran Kern You can't dogshit a movie for a lying trailer. That is like suspending a kid over a rumor that his friend told that was a lie. It was a failure of marketing that hurts the movie and if anything should raise it a rank out of sympathy.

[@DarranKern]

***** kinda looks like what happened. Movie sounds terribly boring.

[@KrisKubric]

I missed these reviews so much! Can't wait for that trailer review. Feel better!

[@ZantofDarkness]

Am I the only person who thinks Jeremy would make a really good version of the Joker in a Batman movie? I mean he knows the character so well that I think he'd be perfect to play him. Disclaimer; I am not saying Jeremy should stop reviewing movies/games and start an acting career.

[@bartholen]

+ZantofDarkness He just needs to start drinking whiskey every day and in 10 years time he'll be the new Mark Hamill of voice acting.

[@ZantofDarkness]

bartholen Well that or lose just keep his voice the way it is. Cos that Joker impression was spot on.

[@hellradiolives]

+ZantofDarkness Personally, I would like him better than Jared Leto.

[@michaelgeorge2719]

Thx Jeremy for still making the video, and holy shit, DID ANYBODY ELSE SEE THAT JOKER IMPRESSION AT THE END. Oh my god, I've you do impersonations before, and i've seen a bunch of people do impersonations before, but woah. That was jiller

[@joejoe5673]

I actually really like this movie a lot!

[@theonewhoknocks96]

"No ghosts lel movie sucks" - this review in a nutshell

[@huntercrunch94]

+Mark Angelini Jr. The movie shouldn't have been advertised as a horror movie if it isn't one. That's just bad marketing. Or good marketing, because this is right before halloween. Either way, it's deceptive, and that's not cool

[@yugoxgc]

It is like that cause as he said the movie was marketed as a scary ghost movie. But it wasn't scary & ghosts were pointless anyway so basically a case of the movie getting screwed over by the marketing. Than again it aparently was also boring so meh even if the marketing fit

[@kaneiahwilliams192]

+Jaeger T Exactly. Just like how M. Night marketed The Village as a horror film but wind up being a love story and he got hated for that, especially with that ending which made it worse. This movie should've opened on Valentines Day instead.

[@huntercrunch94]

kaneiah williams Or how The Babadook's trailer made it look like a monster movie, so when people saw it they went "what? That wasn't what I wanted." and that was bad for the movie word of mouth-wise. The list goes on.

[@huntercrunch94]

KC Nwaneri I didn't mean that it wasn't well received, just that when most people, not critics or anything, saw it after the trailer they complained the monster wasn't in it enough. It was a great movie, though.

[@redluca56]

Mia whatever her surname is, fucking cute. She's gorgeous! I've however never seen any of her films

[@knedy]

+Luca Munro She's Alice in that awful Tim Burton abortion of Alice In Wonderland. Girl got wicked sex appeal!

[@WalrusisintheMatrix]

Wazowski. She's married to Mike

[@knedy]

***** Mike from work? How do you know Mike? I thought he was into little japanese girls I didn't know he was married..

[@redluca56]

+Jim Stewart Cohen It's a joke in relation to the character from Monsters Inc

[@knedy]

Luca Munro Okay. I don't really watch horror movies so I would not know that.

[@Krishnaeternal]

The joker voice is great and all, but that look at 0:23 cracks me up completely. Thanks Jeremy, I did ask for this review.

[@youngknight5589]

Imagine del toro was just not in the mood for making this film because of silent hill being cancelled

[@ginita105]

I'd give it 3 stars. The movie was nothing like what I was expecting after watching the trailer. I was expecting a horror movie, with scary creatures and a weird love story. They got the weird love story part right, something that sounded strangely like Flowers in the Attic (you know, brother and sister falling in love, locked up in an attic...). The part where all his past wives got killed also reminded me of a tale I was taught at school, "Bluebeard", a french folktale where the guy has had many wives and no one knows what happened to them and then he gets married again and, because he has to leave the country, gives a key to his new girl telling her to never go into that room but she does (well duh) and there they are, all his past wives dead, blood all over the place...(then she gets blood on the damn key and can't wash it off and he finds out she went into the room but I think it all ends well in the end?)... Ring a bell? Maybe Guillermo del Toro and Matthew Robbins got some inspiration from stories such as Flowers in the Attic and Bluebeard and then decided to make this cool halloween mix and throw in some ghosts and romance and redemption and tah dah, Crimson Peak? No? Okay... Anyway. I don't think the ghosts were needed either. Specially her dead mother warning her about Crimson Peak, what was that for? How did she know? Was it me who missed something? Still, I gave it 3 stars because of some amazing acting, Tom Hiddleston was amazing, Mia was fine (needs some improving?), and Jessica Chastain was phenomenal, probably my favourite performance, and I'm not used to see her in these kind of roles (last ones I had seen with her were Interstellar and the Martian). The visuals were also fantastic, the ghosts (even though I didn't like how they weren't needed) were represented beautifully and in a very original way... So yes, 3 stars. It could have been better, it could have been worse.

[@jorgemontecinos4728]

You should review GOTHAM

Finally... someone who understands my pain.

[@emyf9197]

yaaas yaas yaasss! hate tht they killed joker/jerome though

[@danielcoyle1085]

missStockholm The pains... Season 2 is so much better. I mean, I was a loyal fan in Season 1, but now I'm actually not as embarrassed to say that I like Gotham.

[@emyf9197]

+daniel coyle omg I think so too! season 2 is 10x better than season 1. I acctually stoped watching after episode 6 but thank god that I gave a 2nd shot. Im loved every episode in season 2 so far. its far better than flash and arrow imo

[@danielcoyle1085]

missStockholm Well... let's just say that Gotham, Flash and Arrow are all great comic book TV shows, for different people to enjoy

[@pazzamore96]

Holy shit Jeremy! That joker impression was fucking epic!

[@yashabreslove8276]

"You could phantom edit the ghosts out." Nice. Also that Joker bit at the end was gold.

+isabella edmiston (annielizyuki) ALL HAIL JEREMU

[@KingVoldemort96]

Every freaking thing you said, I hands down agree with! I just saw it 1 hour ago. After the first jump scares with the ghosts they're really not scary after that, and don't provide anything to the story at all. I also didn't like the relationship between the main character Tom, too quick

[@extracurricular1]

I thought the same thing when I saw it. Set was soo good. Also you're almost at 1 million JJ :)

[@garciahotspur1914]

All I got to say is that he nailed it with that joker voice at the end!👍!👌!.........hope you get better bro and plus there's no Star Wars trailer yet, and its Monday already.😕........

[@271207]

Jeremy, you break my heart (because I know I'm going to end up agreeing with you once I see this, you're usually spot-on for me). I've been looking forward to this movie since the beginning of the year. Guillermo Del Toro's horrific visual masterpiece starring Tom Hiddleston? Heck yeah! Ah man.... I guess it's better to have my expectations adjusted before going to see the movie tomorrow, maybe it will soften the blow.... Maybe I should do a couple of shots beforehand? :P

[@ngachacha]

Wow! That Joker impression was spot on. Enjoy your cold while you still have it!

[@edwurdvulgaris8658]

Dat joker impersonation was spot on!

[@zerosub9450]

Jeremy you crack me up .that joker impression was amazing.

[@wellingtonalcantara1443]

Jesus! That joker impression at the end was awesome!!

[@andreaarellano1178]

I totally agree with the review. I went to see it yesterday and even though I wasn't expecting a horror movie, I was disappointed anyways. Jessica Chastain did a great job I think. Overall it was more of a love drama for me.

[@shauntrek]

I don't disagree about your assessment about the ghosts, but that is 100% foreshadowed in one of Edith's first lines. "It's not a ghost story. It's just a story that happens to have ghosts in it. They are a metaphor [...] for the past."

[@robertwelliver3717]

+Jeremy Jahns You're impersonations are *Always* on point. Jussayin'. Feel better soon man!

[@NerdyGirl0414]

Kickass Joker impersonation, Jeremy

[@kykywox]

Oh shit Jeremy freakin' killed that Joker impression! Awesome :D

[@Erikalynn1977]

You took the words right out of my mouth Jeremy....Wish I would've seen this before we went to see it lol keep up the good work! =)

[@andrewsaturley6549]

First off, Guillermo Del Toro is my favorite film maker of all time. I want to start my opinion off by saying that to acknowledge my extreme bias here. With that out of the way, I will say that I really enjoyed Crimson Peak. It's hard to contradict any specific points that were made in this review because it's pretty damn true. The marketing for this movie was not good. The story wasn't overly original but that didn't bother me because Del Toro said in interviews that he was trying to make a gothic romance that was reminiscent of old school gothic romance and I think he succeeded at that. That's what I went in wanting to see and I felt like I got that. On top of that, the visuals are simply stunning. It has been said over and over again but I truly believe that no one does visuals like Del Toro. Anyway, I enjoyed the movie more than most (possibly because of my previously addressed bias) but I don't fault anyone who walked away from this one disappointed.

Even though I came into this movie expecting horror, I still wasn't disappointed in the end. Maybe it's because I love any movie that portrays ghosts as not being evil, but completely harmless. It just mirrors my own experiences much more than any phantom dragging some model into a closet does. Maybe it's because the use of color in this movie told as much of the story as the actors did, and movies never really do that. I'm pretty sure these actors were chosen not only based on their acting, but the color of their eyes. The way that the stark yellows contrast against the blacks and greens and blues was just completely breathtaking. And I feel like I was the only one who was actually very frightened during the ghost scenes (though I wish less jumpscares were used, despite how much I think the criticism of jumpscares is pretentious), I think that might just be because I'm a big baby. Overall it's not my favorite movie to come out this year (that was Mad Max Fury Road), but it's up there.

In the beginning of the movie Jessica Chastains character talks about the "Ghoststory" she has written and she says: Its not a ghoststory, its a story with a ghost in it, the ghost is a symbol of the past. And thats exactly how the ghosts are used in the movie. they are an echo and a warning. The movie starts with a book called "Crimson Peak" being opened and at the end the book is being closed and you can see that the book was written by Jessica Chastains character. The movie is a visualisation of a book the main characters wrote.

[@Zelinity]

Hahaha, that Ledger Joker impression was golden!

[@patrickdistefano2539]

Love this new voice. Epic joker!

[@deshonwooden3485]

I love the Joker bit he did at the end lol..spot on Jeremy spot.

[@magi404]

Eerily on point at the end with the joker voice! Haha awesome!

[@ModernMousePodcasts]

I actually enjoyed this movie a great deal. I agree that the marketing team did a poor job in representing this movie the way it should have, but I found it still to be a good "horror" movie. I think if this movie were marketed as a romance gone wrong and came out in any other month but October it would have been welcomed with open arms, but the marketing as well as the general public's need for horror to be overly scary or gory instead of just spooky or creepy killed this film.

[@monalisasingh2331]

The joker mimicry at the end, spot on!

[@B-dawg-mc6hm]

Hope ya feel better dude! No fun feeling crappy no matter what.

[@TrustAdrenalineRush]

YOU DOING THE JOKER VOICE JUST ADDED 10YRS ON TO MY LIFE SPAN

[@pippa1515]

yes, but the ghosts are - like Ediths says about her ghost story -a METAPHOR that stands for the past, and like in her book it’s not a ghost story but a story in which a ghost appears etc. And when interviewed Guillermo del Toro explained that the crimson peak ghosts aren’t evil or “terrorizing” the main character but helping her etc.

[@Carlos-ln8fd]

the impression at the end was beyond perfect
