In joining past del Toro genre-ridden offerings that range from the revered cult-like stimulation of Pan’s Labyrinth to the misplaced but eye-popping stiffs such as Blade II and Pacific Rim it is safe to declare Crimson Peak as another elegant and gaudy candy-coated canvas of del Toro’s imaginative cinematic vision.Īesthetically stunning and armed with a sophisticated lining of suspense, Crimson Peak does not necessarily exude any real momentum of toxic scares or memorable chills. For filmmaker del Toro his unconventional narratives have always been peppered in exquisite bounciness regardless of their hit-or-miss effectiveness. Undeniably luscious and wonderfully bizarre, Crimson Peak is a psycho-sexual thriller that resonates with the enticing visual senses and registers with the proper amount of off-kilter seduction and twisted charm. The feasting of the eyes comes to mind when realizing the polished opulence of writer-director Guillermo del Toro’s Gothic supernatural production Crimson Peak.
Trying to escape the ghosts of her past, she is swept away to a house that breathes, bleeds… and remembers.

Once the 4K titles begin to be rented, Redbox will "use the data it collects to calibrate inventory and distribution of 4K titles", so if this idea works out, you can expect even more 4K discs to appear in more and more Redbox kiosks.Crimson Peak 2015-jude-edit-educational-2015-reformed-Crimson Peak-frequently-tomatoes-englisch-M2V-cgi-readers-mortal-2015-commedia-Crimson Peak-pagan-on Redbox-channel-roettgers-virginia-2015-prometheus-Crimson Peak-dieselpunk-docs-2015-stream-francis-novels-buscemi-2015-wolff-Crimson Peak-burke-MPEG-2-adams-accounts-9.2-2015-air-Crimson Peak-facebook-Google Docs.jpgĬoordination art Department : Gabin Wadanĭirector of supervisory art : Amalea Paré "As a consumer, I want to pay a slight premium to get the best possible experience." Redbox is counting on movie watchers wanting to rent 4K discs in addition to purchasing them, though, which is why they're rolling this idea out. "We wanted titles that would have high interest going forward - they're all action-related and incredibly visually stunning," said Redbox CEO Galen Smith. (Redbox also offers On Demand titles, but that's still the beta stage.)
As for the people who do prefer physical media to streaming, I feel like they tend to buy their physical media rather than rent it. But it seems as if only a certain group of people actually care about that – they choose convenience over quality. Streaming quality has improved greatly over the years, but Blu-ray still looks better, and 4K looks even better than that. I suppose the question now is: do you care? While I remain a strong proponent of physical media, I also know that most people seem to be content with streaming their entertainment. This is essentially a test-run for Redbox, as they plan to offer more 4K titles in the future, including Red Sparrow, Pacific Rim Uprising, and the new Tomb Raider movie that everyone already forgot about. These 4K titles will be available at 2,500 Redbox kiosks in New York City, Los Angeles, Seattle, Austin, Detroit, and Miami, and renting them will cost you $2.50 a pop, which is a bit more than the $1.75 charge for DVDs and the $2 rental fee for regular Blu-rays.
