We have to wait until October for Guillermo del Toro’s new film, Crimson Peak, to hit theaters. While that feels like forever, it seems that Stephen King was treated to an advanced screening of the new horror flick and has nothing but shining praise to give.
Was treated to a screening of Guillermo del Toro's new movie, CRIMSON PEAK, this weekend. Gorgeous and just fucking terrifying.

CRIMSON PEAK electrified me in the same way Sam Rami's EVIL DEAD electrified me when I saw it for the first time way back in the day.

King’s son, Joe Hill — author of Horns and Locke & Key — also caught the film. It looks like Hill is in full agreement with his dad, and he raved on Twitter about del Toro’s new horror film.
Remember that list I tweeted the other day, the 13 most beautiful horror films. CRIMSON PEAK is the most beautiful of all.

CRIMSON PEAK is Del Toro's blood-soaked AGE OF INNOCENCE, a gloriously sick waltz through Daphne Du Maurier territory.

Crimson Peak stars Mia Wasikowska, Jessica Chastain, Tom Hiddleston, and Charlie Hunnam. It’s set to open in IMAX on October 16.
Must. Be. Patient.
