Guillermo del Toro's acclaimed 2015 Gothic horror film, Crimson Peak, is now available to stream on Peacock. The film, starring Mia Wasikowska, Tom Hiddleston, and Jessica Chastain, follows Edith, an aspiring author who moves into a secluded mansion with her new husband.

Although horror movie enthusiasts are always eager to discover new releases, certain subgenres tend to be more hit-or-miss. Gothic horror, a captivating experience for viewers, requires the right execution to achieve the popularity of classics like Nosferatu. Fortunately, for fans of Guillermo del Toro (known for his work on The Shape of Water), the filmmaker is a passionate admirer of the genre and dedicated himself to crafting a masterful Gothic horror film with his 2015 movie, Crimson Peak.

Those who missed it or desire a rewatch can now enjoy it on Peacock this February. Crimson Peak transports viewers to the early 20th century and revolves around Edith (played by Mia Wasikowska), an aspiring author who falls in love with Thomas Sharpe (Tom Hiddleston) and moves with him and his enigmatic sister Lucille (Jessica Chastain) to a secluded Gothic mansion. As Edith settles into her new life, she experiences unsettling visions and nightmares, leading her on a quest to uncover the truth behind the occurrences and find peace of mind. The film is often hailed as one of del Toro's finest creations, but its 72% approval rating on Rotten Tomatoes reflects the inherent challenge of appealing to a wide range of audiences. Critics who praised the film highlighted its exceptional production and costume design. Collider's review celebrated the film's ability to seamlessly weave a love story with darker, supernatural elements. The review also lauded Chastain's performance, stating that 'she absolutely owns the picture' and that watching her character on screen is like 'watching a deadly predator behave to perfection.
