The story takes place in the United States in the 19th century. Edith, a rich family daughter, meets Thomas, a fallen nobleman from England. He and his sister raise money to mine their hometown. The two fell in love at first sight. Edith's father prevented him from being killed. Edith sold his property and traveled across the ocean to the castle on the Crimson Mountain. There are many secrets hidden in the dilapidated old castle, bloody ghosts constantly infest her dreams, Edith discovers the true purpose of this pair of siblings.

Thomas loves science and has a good nature. When I was young, because my father had been obsessed with invention and exhausted the family wealth, my mother's temper began to change, and she abused her siblings, locked them in the attic, and beat them for trivial matters. A 12-year-old man who committed incest and murdered his mother with his sister, cheated marriage three times and murdered his wife.

Lucille taught his younger brother since he was a child so that he could not leave her. In order to prevent the former sister-in-law from sharing the bed with her younger brother, she got rid of them, and then killed Edith's father.

At the end of the film Thomas undergoes an emotional change and finds himself in love with Edith. She sentenced her sister to keep her wife alive. This is a process from darkness to sunshine, but after doing so many wrong things, it is impossible to get forgiveness. Under the dual oppression of law and conscience, the only relief is death, which is the most reasonable.

Crimson Peak quotes

  • Lucille Sharpe: [Looking at the dead butterflies] They're dying. They take the heat from the sun, and when it deserts them, they die.

    Edith Cushing: How sad.

    Lucille Sharpe: No, it's not sad, Edith. It's nature. It's a world of everything dying and eating each other right beneath our feet.

    Edith Cushing: Surely there's more to it than that.

    Lucille Sharpe: [Looking at Edith] Beautiful things are fragile... At home we have only black moths. Formidable creatures, to be sure, but they lack beauty. They thrive on the dark and cold.

    Edith Cushing: What do they feed on?

    Lucille Sharpe: Butterflies, I'm afraid.

  • Lucille Sharpe: You will stay here, with us... won't you? Wait for the storm to pass.
