Crimson Peak Analysis


Crimson Peak
 
Crimson Peak illustrates the sub-genres of mystery, action, supernatural, disaster, horror, psychological and romantic thriller as the film is about a woman who moves in with a mysterious male and his sister who does not allow people to go into the basement, a spirit haunts the woman who moves in and puts her in great danger. Thus creating the enigmas of “What is haunting the house?”, “Who is the spirit after?” and “Why is it forbidden to go into the basement?”
 
The location of this thriller is set in a faraway house, nowhere to go which is typical in a supernatural, psychological mystery thriller as if someone is in danger they have nowhere to run, stranded.  You can tell by the clothing, of which is outdated with its Victorian style that this is set in an older era which only makes it even more ghostly, at that time there was not much knowledge of the spirit world in film terms.
 
There is a romantic feel to this genre, which inhibits the hint of a romantic thriller. A romantic dimension to the woman moving in and the man. There is also a more sinister relationship between the woman and the man’s sister, demanding her to not go into the basement, highlighting that she may be keeping a secret.
