If you weren’t aware that Guillermo del Toro has returned to real horror with Crimson Peak, then where have you been? The rumoured to be terrifying haunted house horror is ramping up the promotional campaign as its release date craws nearer, and tonight we have a ferocious new TV spot to show you.
While the full length trailer allowed time to build up the atmosphere, setting and characters, this one minute TV spot goes right for the scares, and keeps it there for the entire duration. It’s brilliantly scary, with some truly great moments of pure terror. Man its great to see del Toro back in the genre of pure, terrifying horror and I cannot wait to see the results!
Guillermo del Toro’s haunted house horror, Crimson Peak, will arrive in cinemas on October 16th 2015.
Official synopsis:
Legendary Pictures’ CRIMSON PEAK, a co-production with Universal Pictures, is a haunting gothic horror story directed by the master of dark fairy tales, Guillermo del Toro (Pan’s Labyrinth, Hellboy series, Pacific Rim), written by del Toro and Matthew Robbins and starring Mia Wasikowska, Jessica Chastain, Tom Hiddleston and Charlie Hunnam.
In the aftermath of a family tragedy, an aspiring author is torn between love for her childhood friend and the temptation of a mysterious outsider. Trying to escape the ghosts of her past, she is swept away to a house that breathes, bleeds…and remembers. Thomas Tull, Jon Jashni, del Toro and Callum Greene produce, and Jillian Share executive produces.
Don’t know why but I’m just not feeling it. It’s got all the elements but maybe it’s the cgi ghost effects that’s making me think it’s just not scary.
