7. Crimson Peak (2015)
Crimson Peak came at a point in del Toro’s career when he realized his talent with creatures, horror, and gothic settings could be used in different ways. And so on that canvas he unfurls this complex melodrama about a love triangle with supernatural elements. It almost doesn’t feel del Toro once you get into it, which makes it just a wee bit forgettable, but the performances and visuals keep it afloat.
