I'm usually the one to roll my eyes when someone says they like a movie for it's visual side(meaning sceneries and costumes and not the camera work) . I think the visual is important, but if that's the only good thing about a movie you can find to say - it was a crappy movie. This wasn't a crappy movie, but I thoroughly enjoyed the visuals of this movie- the clothes, the surroundings, the scenery. It was stunning. I like a good horror movie and despite the fact that this was in fact a Gothic romance and not a horror movie as I originally foolishly thought it had some lovely horror elements. Overall it was very classy. It wasn't too scary, but thankfully not too gruesome or gross or - dull. It felt a bit fairy-tale-ish really. Some scenes reminded me of The Beauty and the Beast and Bluebeard. I wished the ending wouldn't be so fairy-tale-ishly cliche as well. It would have been a bit more interesting with some other ending I think? Maybe I'm too picky.
Also Tom Hiddestone can't ever do a fully evil character, can he? I actually like that, I like characters who aren't that one dimensional. I like layered characters.
(Edited on 26th of October: I was informed that the movie was not in fact Horror as I stated earlier, but a Gothic romance)
