‘Crimson Peak’ Character Posters Introduce The Inhabitants Of Guillermo Del Toro’s Haunted House
You’ve had a chance to explore the gorgeous and creepy haunted house ofGuillermo del Toro’s dreams; now meet some of its equally gorgeous and creepy inhabitants. Universal and Legendary have released four jewel-tonedCrimson Peakcharacter posters featuringMia Wasikowska,Tom Hiddleston,Jessica Chastain, andCharlie Hunnam. Check ‘em out after the jump.
Crimson Peakcenters on young Edith (Wasikowska) who falls for a man (Hiddleston) who’s hiding a whole bunch of secrets. Like, a whole house full of them. His sister (Chastain) seems none too pleased with this new relationship. Nor does Edith’s friend (Hunnam), who clearly carries a torch for her.
TheCrimson Peakcharacter posters offer a strong sense of the film’s rich, moody tone, as well as some hints about each character’s role in the story. Hunnam looks relatively normal and boring because he’s supposed to; he’s the sweet, well-meaning alternative to the sexy and mysterious stranger played by Hiddleston. Chastain’s poster burns bright, while Wasikowska looks like she’s halfway to becoming a ghost herself.
While the posters aren’t terribly upsetting, the movie itself promises to be quite scary. When the master of horror himself, Stephen King, thinks a movie is “just fucking terrifying,” you know it’s doing something right.Crimson Peakdefinitely looks like one to watch out for when it opensOctober 16, 2015.
