Crimson Peak

Edith. Girl. You cannot tell me that moving to the solitary mountain, famous for red clay turning it red, was not obviously the crimson peak your ghost mother warned you about.  After she gets married it basically becomes a comedy when they arrive at Hiddleston’s home, there are so many red flags!!! 🚩🚩!! “Watch out for the hole in the ceiling. Also the dangerous mines below mean the house is always making noise and weeping red fluid onto the floors. Oh and the bath tub runs blood red too. And it’s damp everywhere. Oh and there are dead bugs everywhere and the tea is bad and it’s so cold in the house. Oh and my sister stalks around giving you dagger eyes. The chimneys even form a vacuum and the house breathes. And seriously there’s a giant hole in the ceiling and we just live with that.” The direction even leans into this - the gentle pan to the creepy mannequin heads watching them mack sent me Turned back on the gothic seriousness for the finale though.  Wonderful mood piece to just put on and think about ghosts
