As a fan who has had the pleasure of immersing myself in Guillermo del Toro‘s enchanting and thought-provoking cinematic universe, I must say that “Crimson Peak” was a hauntingly beautiful experience that left an indelible mark on me. Delving into the realm of gothic romance, this film offered a unique blend of horror, mystery, and love that resonated with me on a profound level.
As a passionate gamer, I can’t help but appreciate Guillermo del Toro’s knack for defying genre boundaries, creating an array of narratives that effortlessly blend themes and tones to deliver truly distinctive experiences. One such adventure was the 2015 release, Crimson Peak, following his epic monster movie, Pacific Rim. Crimson Peak offered a captivating gothic romance, filled with grotesque entities. Despite the accolades del Toro had garnered through various projects, Crimson Peak fell short in its box-office success. However, the filmmaker later disclosed that he was aware of the challenges the project faced during marketing, as it was primarily marketed as a horror movie rather than a complex narrative with deeper layers.
In a conversation with Vulture, director del Toro expressed that one aspect of the movie which will forever be an ironic haunt is its marketing as a horror film. However, during promotional discussions, strategies were primarily geared towards attracting the horror audience for the initial weekend release. Del Toro admitted he felt doomed from the start, urging them to emphasize the romance and mystery instead of promoting it as a horror movie. Given that it was released in October, the month associated with Halloween, he acknowledges why this happened.
He added, “In truth, this film resonates deeply with its fans, almost on a cellular level. Over time, some movies build their fanbase, while others experience immediate success but fade away. The spectrum of outcomes is vast. However, I’m discovering that I feel more content when I engage with people who genuinely embrace a movie and claim it as their own.”
Crimson Peak
2015’s movie generally received favorable feedback from critics, boasting a 73% approval rating on Rotten Tomatoes. However, its audience score stands at 56%. Despite this, it managed to gross $75 million globally against an estimated production budget of $55 million.
In a similar vein, Del Toro’s upcoming film from 2017, titled “The Shape of Water,” seamlessly combined multiple themes and was awarded the prestigious Oscar for Best Picture.
