Crimson Peak
In the aftermath of a family tragedy, an aspiring author is torn between love for her childhood friend and the temptation of a mysterious outsider. Trying to escape the ghosts of her past, she is swept away to a house that breathes, bleeds - and remembers.
I liked it very much. I don't know how I missed it when it first came out.
Director Guillermo "Del Toro wanted the film to honor the "grand dames" of the haunted house genre, namely Robert Wise's The Haunting and Jack Clayton's The Innocents. The director intended to make a large-scale horror film in the tradition of those he grew up watching, such as The Omen, The Exorcist, and The Shining. He cited the latter as "another Mount Everest of the haunted house movie", praising the high production values and Stanley Kubrick's control over the large sets."
I first thought it would be cool for skimom2 and her LilMan and sir ghost19 and his tweenager but...no. No. Especially thelast 20minutes or so.
If you have a couple of hours for chills and thrills, I watched it here:

Thank you, Siggie, for that review. After reading it, I had to have this movie on DVD. Thanks for the link, but I'd rather watch it on my television. Weird quirk. Thanks again. You're the best!
