If Crimson Peak were more decidedly a horror film, I'd guess that this movie might only be the first chapter, and that there might be a Crimson Peak sequel eventually. I see the director's point, though Crimson Peak leans on elements transferred from classic gothic novels like Jane Eyre and Wuthering Heights, from the rambling, mysterious house to the inscrutable, handsome leading man. del Toro, but the film's trailers and poster art alone have already made it difficult for me to turn the lights off at night, as I'm sure some long-fingered skeletal hand is going to grasp my shoulder like it does Mia Wasikowska's. At a festival screening recently, Crimson Peak director Guillermo del Toro told an audience that the movie is a " gothic romance," not a horror film, according to io9.
