Crimson Peak (2015)

Crimson Peak marks Guillermo Del Toro's directorial return to the horror genre, presenting a film that is elegant, beautiful and somewhat of throwback to more classic gothic horror. The film, as expected, has fantastic set design, stunning cinematography and great looking ghosts.
The film's story is nothing particularly outstanding or new, but has enough intrigue to keep us invested and has a good amount of tension.
Performances are also fine and there seems to be a deliberate use of melodrama that may put a few people off.
Overall though, this is a beautiful and solid horror film that is certainly worth seeing for the visuals.
***1/2

Tracks (2014)

One of those simple, straight foward films that provides a nice watch. A journey of self understanding starring the wonderful Mia Wasikowska, with some beautiful cinematography (I particularly loved the opening shot).
The film has a few small downtrodden moments but mainly feels quite tender and is definitely not for those who like their films with a full on narrative.
But overall, I think it's a solid, well-crafted adaptation of Robyn Davidson's journey.
