Crimson Peak (2015)
Directed by Guillermo del Toro
influenced by The Fall of the House of Usher (1928)
Plot
The screenplay by del Toro and frequent writing partner Matthew Robbins spends too much time in America and is a mashup of Alfred Hitchcock’s “Rebecca” and “Suspicion,” along with Edgar Allan Poe’s classic 1839 tale “The Fall of the House of Usher,” with Sharpe as Roderick Usher and Lucille as his weird sister Madeline.
…more than anything else, this film evokes Jean Epstein’s gorgeous Le Tempestaire (1947)…
