Hollywood is sure to offer up a great many horror films this fall, but the one that most has our attention is Crimson Peak. Featuring Guillermo del Toro going back to his horror-tinged roots, the film follows Jessica Chastain, Tom Hiddleston, Mia Wasikowska, and Charlie Hunnam in the story of an author who finds out her husband has some secrets — all in a haunted house. After two enticing trailers another look at the film has arrived thanks to a new featurette and the full Comic-Con panel.
“Don’t expect a reinvention where the house turns out to be a spaceship or it’s all a TV show. It’s a straight gothic romance. But some of the gender roles are a little more liberated,” he told the Comic-Con crowd (via The Guardian). “I have two daughters, and there is a secret gender war.” So, to see more of his story (and film he calls “the most beautiful movie I have ever made”), check out both videos below, along with a batch of new posters.
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.
Crimson Peak opens on October 16th.
