The cinematography in Crimson Peak is doing all the heavy lifting and it shows

Director clearly thought Crimson Peak was deeper than it is. There's a difference between ambiguous and unfinished, and this leans hard into the second.

[Serious Discussion] Is anyone else completely checked out by the pacing in Crimson Peak?

Everyone praising the Crimson Peak performances must have watched a different cut. The lead is sleepwalking through this and the supporting cast can't save it.

Hot Take: Crimson Peak's third act ruined what could have been a masterpiece

Just got out of Crimson Peak and I'm convinced critics are being paid in residuals. Two genuinely good scenes do not make a film. Convince me otherwise.

Why does no one talk about how mid the writing in Crimson Peak actually is?

Rewatched Crimson Peak last night and noticed even more plot holes than the first time. The motivations don't track at all once you stop and think about act two.
