    This has crimson peaked my curiosity…..OK, I’ll stop.

    While Crimson Peak is a far cry from del Toro’s best work, featuring one of the weirdest and uneven first acts in years, the 2015 film does showcase a lot of strengths. The performances are top notch, with Jessica Chastain and Tom Hiddleston truly standing out. Its masterful director? Well he’s again in top form behind the camera. And with this new set from the fine folks at Arrow Video, there’s never been a better time to revisit the ghost picture. November, are you here yet?

    To pre-order your copy, head on over to Amazon UK or Zavvi. Currently, for those who don’t have a region free Blu-ray player, the set doesn’t have pre-orders up in the US but expect that to change very soon.
