From The Press Release

On May 21st, director Guillermo del Toro‘s sumptuous horror classic Crimson Peak makes its debut in a Limited Edition 4K release, approved by the director himself. The film stars Mia Wasikowska (Alice in Wonderland) as Edith, a young woman still haunted by the death of her mother, who finds love in the arms of the mysterious Thomas (Tom Hiddleston, Loki). Edith finds the atmosphere in Thomas’ majestic but dilapidated home as unwelcoming as Thomas’s sister (Oscar® winner Jessica Chastain, The Eyes of Tammy Faye), and quickly learns that both brother and sister, as well as the house itself, are haunted by mysteries that eventually reveal unspeakable family acts. Crimson Peak is del Toro at the peak of his powers, delivering a lavish gothic romance tale for the ages. 

The special features include a director’s commentary; a feature-length making-of; interviews with director and cast; featurettes on the sets, the gothic romance genre, photography, costumes, production design, and FX work; a critic interview; a visual essay; deleted scenes; image gallery; trailers and TV spots.

From the imagination of Oscar-winning director Guillermo del Toro (Pan’s Labyrinth, The Shape of Water) comes Crimson Peak, a lavish, stunningly realized journey into the dark heart of Gothic romance… Beginning in Buffalo, New York, during the 1880s, Crimson Peak stars Mia Wasikowska (Alice in Wonderland, Stoker) as Edith Cushing, an aspiring writer who is haunted by the death of her mother. Edith falls in love with seductive stranger Thomas Sharpe (Tom Hiddleston, The Avengers), who whisks her off to Allerdale Hall, his baronial, yet dilapidated English mansion built upon a mountain of blood-red clay. Here Edith meets Lucille (Jessica Chastain, Zero Dark Thirty), Thomas’s sister who at times seems hostile and jealous. As Edith struggles to feel at home in the imposing residence, she gradually uncovers a horrendous family secret and encounters supernatural forces that will help he discover the terrible truth behind Crimson Peak. Boasting incredibly intricate and ornate production design and a rich visual style, del Toro’s film is a grandiose, boldly baroque triumph of Gothic decadence, which expertly combines and contrasts the sublimely beautiful with the shockingly grotesque. Crimson Peak is presented here in sumptuous special packaging, with a wealth of extra features, affording unprecedented insight into the making of this modern Gothic classic.
