"A house as old as this one becomes, in time, a living thing. It starts holding onto things..."
There are few voices in contemporary cinema that are as defiantly idiosyncratic as that of Guillermo Del Toro, and 2015's Crimson Peak could well be the Mexican filmmaker's most idiosyncratic work to date. A fitting final instalment to our six-part series on horror film, this neo-Victorian tale of love, murder and ghosts is both a visual feast and a passionate love letter from Del Toro himself to the Gothic genre.
