FRIDAY OCTOBER 31ST

GUILLERMO DEL TORO'S
CRIMSON PEAK
 10TH ANNIVERSARY 
4K REMASTER

DIRECTOR: Guillermo del Toro

​

STARRING: ​ Mia Wasikowska, Jessica Chastain, Tom Hiddleston, Charlie Hunnam & Jim Beaver.

Guillermo del Toro — the visionary behind Pan’s Labyrinth, the Best Picture Oscar-winning The Shape of Water, the stunning recent Pinocchio animation, and Netflix’s upcoming $120 million Frankenstein — flexes his gothic-romance muscles in this often-overlooked yet gorgeously crafted modern classic, celebrating its 10th anniversary this year.

​

One of the most ornately designed gothic films ever made, Crimson Peak is a visual feast. Drawing on inspirations such as The Haunting, The Innocents & The Shining, Del Toro’s signature lavish production design and richly detailed aesthetic are on full display in this director-approved 4K transfer — a version that absolutely deserves to be experienced on the big screen. Within the film’s grand and hauntingly beautiful sets, flashes of grotesque horror and moments of genuine spookiness emerge, creating one of the most chilling and visually arresting pieces of cinema in recent memory.

​

Set in the 1880s, the story follows aspiring writer Edith Cushing (Mia Wasikowska), who is haunted by the ghostly memory of her mother. When she falls for the enigmatic Sir Thomas Sharpe (Tom Hiddleston), he whisks her away from Buffalo, New York, to his ancestral home, Allerdale Hall — a crumbling Gothic mansion built atop blood-red clay in the remote English countryside. But the decaying estate seems to possess a sinister life of its own. As Edith tries to adjust to her unsettling new home, she soon suspects that Thomas and his cold, mysterious sister, Lady Lucille Sharpe (Oscar winner Jessica Chastain), may be hiding dark and terrible secrets.​ A true masterpiece of decadent design and gothic storytelling, Crimson Peak is unmissable this Halloween.

Catch it in our special early evening screening — or make a night of it with a discounted joint ticket for our late-session showing of Dario Argento’s Deep Red, for a back-to-back Halloween double bill drenched in blood-red horror and scarlet-tinged spookiness.
