	Author	Review
United States	Peter Debruge Variety	"Aflame with color and awash in symbolism, this undeniably ravishing yet ultimately disappointing haunted-house meller is all surface and no substance."	NEU
United Kingdom	Tim Grierson Screendaily	"A fondly nostalgic Gothic horror movie in which director Guillermo del Toro delivers plenty of elegant chills."	POS
United States	Alonso Duralde The Wrap	"'Crimson Peak' is (...) a period homage that mostly plays like a period film (...) When the scares do arrive (...) they’re effectively unsettling."	POS
United States	Todd McCarthy The Hollywood Reporter	"[It's] certainly unequaled in its field for the beauty of its camerawork, sets, costumes and effects. But it's also conventionally plotted and not surprising or scary at all."	NEU
United Kingdom	Peter Bradshaw The Guardian	"[An] addictively watchable, macabre Hitchcockian fantasy. (...) Crimson Peak is outrageously sumptuous, gruesomely violent (...) Rating: ★★★★ (out of five)"	POS
United States	Chris Nashawaty Entertainment Weekly	"A loving throwback to Roger Corman's Edgar Allan Poe movies (...) Crimson Peak is a cobwebs-and-candelabras chamber piece that's so preoccupied with being visually stunning it forgets to be scary"	NEU
United States	Russ Fischer IndieWire	"This grandiose film is visually and emotionally ripe, to the point that juices nearly sweat off the screen."	POS
