10 Movies Starring Supernatural Actors

10. Crimson Peak - Jim Beaver

Oscar-winning director Guillermo Del Toro released this gothic ghost story in 2015. Starring Mia Wasikowska, Tom Hiddleston and Jessica Chastain the movie is a sweeping high budget love story that looks and feels like a Grimm Fairy Tale brought to life. Set in the ruins of a formerly grandiose manor house, the paint is peeling, the high ceilings are full of holes, exposing the house to the elements, pipes and floorboards creak loudly and dust settles on nearly every surface.

The supporting cast is headed up by Bobby himself, Jim Beaver. He plays Carter Cushing, the wealthy father of Mia Wasikowska’s character. He’s an interesting character in the first act of the movie. Beaver gives the character a three dimensional quality, playing him as more likeable and fatherly than the usual wealthy investor type character portrayed in American cinema.

That’s not to say that the character lacks a hard edge though, for he certainly has that; coldly plotting to traumatise his own daughter as he thinks it will save her from danger.

Del Toro is a filmmaker at the top of his game who has built his career on crafting dark fairy-tale like stories that blend genres. Like his Best-Picture winner, The Shape of Water, this is a gorgeous film to look at, with fantastic sets and costume design. This film is simply one of the best on this list.
