Crimson Peak: 10 Things To Look Forward To
1. A Discreet Measure Of Kink
Happily, one work this movie will not reference is 50 Shades of Grey. Del Toro is known for being particularly coy when it comes to portraying sexy times in his films.
Yup, he’s actually gone on record with this, endearingly humming and hawing around the actual issue during press interviews.
In fact, his past works are extremely chaste in that department, which is somewhat surprising considering the fact that the director doesn’t shy away from even more complicated topics like, you know, wholesale murder and the apocalypse.
Crimson Peak breaks away from this tradition with a respectable quota of not-quite-naked flesh and Victorian fetishes, including vague online speculation about possible incest, aplenty. Quite the departure from the split-second leg hump in The Devil’s Backbone.
An ‘R’ rating has been duly delivered, however that could just as easily be blamed on the gore as on the sex.
