Factual error: The persistent cascade of leaves underlines the poor condition of the house, but where are they coming from? The woodland in the distance already looks bare, and how are so many leaves managing to stop above and drop directly through a relatively small hole in the roof?

Crimson Peak is Guillermo del Toro's ode to older horror films and Gothic, Victorian-era storytelling-brooding, atmospheric and elaborate. Here, beautiful Edith is caught in a web of lies and a terrible plot as a dashing but dubious English noble tries to draw her away from her father and her writing to join him and his sister at a haunted mansion that is slowly sinking into red muck. Imaginatively weird-looking spirits, grand sets and disturbing moments make Crimson Peak worthy of a look while Mia Wasikowska, Tom Hiddleton and Jessica Chastain are ably cast in the main roles. Good for some Halloween mood-making, but not really for those used to faster-paced horror fare.

Suggested correction: The "cascade" coming through the hole in the roof isn't one of leaves, it's one of snow.
Leaves are falling in 49:32 mark.

Trivia: Both Emma Stone and Benedict Cumberbach were originally cast for the lead roles, but both left the production.
Question: What's the deal with the puppy, and did it die in the end?
Answer: It was killed by Lucille in one of the final scenes.
Answer: Just before the doctor was stabbed by Thomas Sharpe, his sister kills the dog she despises just off to the side and behind them-you can hear its final whimper.
