CRIMSON PEAK (2015) Ending Explained 

Serial killer much 😂😂 beware of you

Rest In Peace to him I guess

Another person who knows basic medical knowledge!

@@peridotgaming5894 yeah, I feel like everyone knows about the carotid (even if they call it the jugular, which, you know, you also don’t want to get jabbed in), and most people know about the femoral, but not enough people are aware that the axillary exists. And considering it’s relatively easy to fuck it up, I feel like we need a few more “guard your armpits” PSAs

That’s how my high school science teacher described the best way to murder someone x)

There aren't any "harmless" ghosts/spirits. The POSE as "familiars"...such as ancestors, recreations of horrible murders, etc. The TRUTH is ANY SPIRIT that comes to you is there to either harm you... (at least, SHOWING you what they are) or WORSE... lull you into a false sense of necrophiliec tendency to think that you can "entertain" them and welcome them into your life. The WORSE case scenario, you've opened a door to the spirit realm and won't be able to close it. Not until JUDGEMENT>>>AFTER this life... will you understand that you were duped and what was to appear as HARMLESS was a play for your soul.

Villains are mostly tragic figures.

Speaking of that, why can’t benevolent ghosts (when appearing in dreams or hallucinations, or when they have the ability to speak) say, “Hey wait, protagonist! I’m not gonna hurt you! I’m actually a nice ghost and you don’t have to be scared despite my scary appearance!” Ya know, instead of jumpscaring them and screaming cryptic nonsense. And slamming doors.

Indeed. It is incredibly refreshing to see both sides of the 'Tragic Haunting Paradox' or 'Haunting Predicament' being properly portrayed and in equal measure and having them intersect in a way that is both organic and deeply psychologically compelling, as you fully internalize that these ghosts who could be fully antagonized if that ever were to happen to you were, in fact, individuals (and nearly all young privileged women who were innocent nonetheless, with the exception of Sir Thomas Sharpe's deceased infant child, the child miners, Edith's father Mr. Cushing, implicitly some horses, a puppy and nearly Dr. Alan McMichael, his castrating sister Eunice and nearly the entirety of their family as well as almost the Private Investigator) with hopes, dreams, aspirations who were both robbed of their innocence and youth, as well as of their potential as human beings by being subjected to the tragic victimization which binds them to the very house they had once sought to escape upon having realized that the one person with whom they thought that they could build a beautiful and fulfilling emotional and romantic relationship with, as well as the promise of materializing enriching and adventurous life with had been emotionally manipulating and physically incapacitating them for financial gain for no reason whatsover other than just, well... Pure, unremorseful malice. And the incestuous abuse that Sir. Thomas Sharpe suffered his whole life, does not justify his murderous complicity and criminality, as he had been presented with the choice to leave Allerdale Hall from the moment his life was no longer directly tied to Lucille's when she was institutionalized in Switzerland, as he could have easily confessed to the police, as Lucille had up until that point, done virtually all of the dirty work and not him. Did he somewhat redeem himself in death? Perhaps so... But it does not take away all of the pain, stagnation, and humiliation that the women, children, and even animals suffered at his hands. It is also important to note that we as a collective audience, do not have the opportunity to fully empathize with the tragically deceased women's strife until the prospect of our heroine Edith being fated to die in a similar fashion, becomes a legitimate, fully fleshed out possibility and yes, we do start to feel the same semblance of inescapable entrapment as she very much does in the pre-climactic moments of the film and when the ghosts appear in their crimson spectral manifestation, it is incredibly chilling and lethally terrifying! And you start to feel everything and every single emotional response that Edith had been accumulating up until that moment. Edith herself could have easily ran away in the scene in which she goes to the post office and she would have easily been believed and the ghosts would have understandably let her go... But she chose to stay to help avenge her father and the victims before her who had no voice, even going as far as risking her own life and that of her first love, best friend, and confidant in the process. She was successful in the end, because both parties collaborated and were cooperative toward one another and that is truly a beautiful thing to see on screen, as the prospect of the potential victim helping avenge those who came before him or her, isn't a trope that is explored to its fullest narrative potential in recent horror films.

the first thing that came to mind when reading ur explanation was flowers in the attic

I knew it reminded me of something! I haven't read 'Flowers in the Attic' in years.

I also love this movie, but I think why many people don't is because of how it was marketed. I remember it being advertised as a horror and "the scariest movie you'll ever see", and that's not what it is. If they had been more true to what it actually is, they would have gotten an audience that was into this type of movie and enjoyed it. Instead they got a bunch of horror fans expecting lots of ghosts and gore.

Same here!!!! Absolutely Stunning visuals & Great Leads☺️ I loved it 😍

People were expecting a scary movie but the ghosts in this movie are not scary. I really liked it since i did not have any expectations

Maybe the incest?

I’ll never understand this type of comment. You’re not right. Other people weren’t wrong. It’s subjective. People didn’t like it because they didn’t like it. Your opinion isn’t special. No movie is universally agreed upon. It’s all subjective.

If you read the novelization, it has a few flashbacks to the childhood of the siblings and it's pretty clear there that Lucille groomed him into their relationship too. There is a line (i don't know if it's in the movie or unique to the novelization because I saw the film ages ago... 😅) where he says to Edith "I always close my eyes when people make me do things that I don't want to". That's such an important detail to his characterization!

@@noemitamas4066 it is in the film as well, early on. I Love the novelization so much, it does such a great job expanding on the characters and the story.

Absolutely!

The incest?

YEEESSS!!!!

I Agree

I disagree.

The second one was a travesty. And so dark couldn’t see anything

Yeh but the ending of it was terrible

I like the Woman in Black bit Crimson Peak didn’t remind me of it. CP is wayyyyyyyy more impressive

What?

@@quentinthompsonzic1200 L + ratio What?

The “scary monsters” are natural & have been here way before us, it is the humans who are the unnatural & scariest things in nature. The way we harm one another, take without giving & have no big problems with ki*ling each other really. You never truly know who you have let in to our home & in your bed & life, until it’s to late. So yeah the real monsters aren’t out there the real monsters are in humans

@@nephhhhhh what?

no way, true fear is a big crazy monster, sorry

It was

The third act of this movie was really really good

It was gorgeous to look at too. Loved the blood stained gowns they wore.

Oh its u

Whole movie was honestly, but especially that scene, it was beauti- Oh, hey, you like horror movies? Cool

Yes, that’s pretty much right where the brachial artery is so it would be an effective spot

And Jessica Chastain definitely did well coming off as a disturbed f'ed up goth chick. Great decision on her part!

Ik I thought Allen was dead to rights after the arm pit stab

poppycock

He did Mama, Del Toro produced it.

You might be thinking of Ryan Hollinger, I thought the same thing too lol

That’s what we all watched when we realized he didn’t make a video on it (till now)

Dead Meat just covered it on the Kill Count a few weeks back.

Ryan did one last week….

Let's be real that man is epic in any role he takes.

@@Jessidafennecfox Truth.

He's so handsome and charming 😩♥️

It's 😍😍Loki😍😍

I took my children to see this and, as we watch a lot of movies, although we saw the trailers we maintained an open mind. This movie absolutely wasn't what it was advertised as - and I blame the production company for botching the marketing campaign. Honestly, I would never have classified this as a horror movie. That is what we were expecting when we went into the movie. While it wasn't a horror movie, so we were disappointed on that front, it was a beautifully shot, tragic and Gothic love story, and also... not the ghost story we wanted, but the Gothic ghost story we needed (lol). We watch enough movies that we can appreciate a movie for what it is, even if it turns out not to be what it was advertised as. And I am a HUGE fan of Del Toro's work, so that helps.

That is why people need to do more research and not depend on the trailers alone. I love Gothic romance stories. Just like the film Only Lovers Left Alive was classified as Gothic romance with the two vampires (also starring TH) Wish we had another one coming out again. I'd go and see it. Sad that we're only getting sub par movies right now. Def need a good fic and a Gothic romance would hit the spot.

I loved it too the usage of color reminded me of house of flying daggers

Same, I went in expecting something else.

Well, that's the point of the movie, so...

That’s kinda gothic horrors thing, lost loves and all that... Just look at Dracula or Poe’s works, usually quite melancholic and lamenting on what could have been. It’s not scares that make you scream and wail but the quiet fears, the horror of the mind, fear of loneliness, of betrayal, of insanity. Probably comes from people hearing of how bad TB and Victorian mental institutions were at the time.

@@g0lddustt29 Crimson Peak was definitely marketed before release as a thrilling, gory horror epic. That's not at all what the movie was meant to be. But...the marketing dept. tried...I guess

I'm glad it wasn't a generic spooky ghost movie. What we got was way more interesting and unique Horror as a genre has more to offer than just being scary.

Same, friend. 🤟🖤

I was thinking the same thing. Like y’all workin together ? 🧐

@@sailorarwen6101 I can't help but raise all four eyebrows whenever I see it happen

Yea i noticed that detail about the ghost too. Also i remember watching this movie and (Because i hate horror) was still scared by it but could enyoj it more than others.

@@RoxieDarkangel true!

To be fair, angels are supposed to look terrifying- at least the biblical ones.

BE NOT AFRAID! Says the horrifying skeleton ghost.

@@matijasostojic4288 remember in Hispanic cultures they have the day of the dead. A corpse isn't so scary by their cultural standards

@@BrosBGaming i think That even if a mortician who Works with bodies up close And personal would be terrified of these ghosts.

His Angel of Death in HB2 is more bible-accurate than most renderings in popular culture. It’s beautiful in its horror though.

How did you feel about Stonehearst Asylum? It's my number 1 favorite romance horror, and this is my second.

Anytime i see him pop up i click immediately

I forgot to add the red water is the house bleeding. Also, who the hell mines beneath a house? The Sharps were all dumb as rocks to think the house wouldn't sink ;) I adore Gothic Horror!

Saaame!!!!

giving it a try

It's really good.

@@TheSnickerdoodle24 I watched it. It was interesting.

Lmao ok

Sun bro

@@iHaveTheDocuments \[T]/

I like they closed on the creepy image of Lucille’s spirit instead of Edith since we see her and Alan being found by the townsfolk

What do u mean original movie? Was there a sequel?

@@charfree6888 there was an older version of the same movie. I knew I'd seen the movie along time ago but I knew it was with other actors. I realized this movie was a newer version.

Represent lol

Only you
