Prepare to be scared out off of your seats as Crimson Peak is soon to hit theaters. A new poster has been released showing Tom Hiddleston. Director Guillermo del Toro shared details about the film, specifically the house where all the haunting take place.
Ghosts, blood, and mysteries will haunt fans in the upcoming Crimson Peak, and a new creepy and at the same time an intriguing poster had been released for the movie showing actor Tom Hiddleston. The poster, with blue and red as dominating colors, show Hiddleston as Thomas Sharpe, staring directly with half of a skull overlapping his image.
Director Guillermo del Toro also revealed details about the house that haunts the young aspiring novelist, Edith Cushing in the movie.
But even though the house plays a significant role, del Toro said that the movie is not a haunted house movie.
"The house is a rotting representation of the family that has inhabited it - it's like a cage, a killing jar that you use to kill butterflies. The house basically is a sinister, sinister trap." Del Toro said.
The director also revealed that the horror starts after Edith Cushing and Thomas Sharpe gets married. "[Usually] the marriage is sort of the climax or the high point of a story, I tried on Crimson to say that the horror starts after the marriage. This girl wakes up in a strange place, not her own home, not her own bed, and she little by little realizes that she knows less about the man she married than one would expect. The curious thing is the love story really starts when they acknowledge that darkness." he added.
The movie also stars Mia Wasikowska as Edith Cushing, Jessica Chastain as Lady Lucille Sharpe, and Charlie Hunnam as Dr. Alan McMichael. Crimson Peak's official synopsis reads:
"When her heart is stolen by a seductive stranger, a young woman is swept away to a house atop a mountain of blood-red clay: a place filled with secrets that will haunt her forever. Between desire and darkness, between mystery and madness, lies the truth behind Crimson Peak.
From the imagination of director Guillermo del Toro comes a supernatural mystery starring Tom Hiddleston, Jessica Chastain, Mia Wasikowska and Charlie Hunnam."
Crimson Peak is set to hit theaters on October 16.
