Although Guillermo Del Toro has been involved in a number of horrors in recent years, including Mama and Don't Be Afraid Of The Dark, Crimson Peak is a rare genre project that he's both directed and written (alongside co-writer Matthew Robbins) - so expectations are high for a film that Stephen King has already called "gorgeous and terrifying".
