10 Great Films From 2015 You'll Never Watch Again (And Why)
9. Crimson Peak
Guillermo Del Toros gothic horror movie has all the trimmings people have come to expect from the director; rich production design, ghosts, things preserved in jars and a sewer. The film is a creepy and violent ride through the directors imagination, and it features great performances by Jessica Chastain and Tom Hiddleston. Why Youll Never Watch It Again: For all the beautiful visuals and fine performances, it lacks the heart that makes Del Toros best stuff work. Movies like Pans Labyrinth and even Hellboy have the emotion to back up the production design, but Crimson Peak just doesnt. Its all surface sheen that relies on the actors to bring some life to their characters, as the stilted dialogue certainly doesnt help. A couple of plot twists towards the end are so obvious they cant even be called twists, which leaves Crimson Peak as a horror movie thats high on pretty looks but a little low on intelligence.
