CRIMSON PEAK

Film4, 9pm

The soul of young Edith Cushing’s mother visits her to deliver a chilling warning: “Beware of Crimson Peak”. Fourteen years later, Edith (Mia Wasikowska) is an aspiring author at odds with the prevailing attitudes of lateVictor­ian society. British baronet Sir Thomas Sharpe (Tom Hiddleston) visits Buffalo, New York to seek funding for his clay extraction machine. Edith’s ageing father Sir Carter Cushing (Jim Beaver) refuses to finance the contraptio­n but he is powerless to stop his daughter falling under Sir Thomas’s spell. They marry and move to Sharpe’s crumbling ancestral home in Cumberland, but as Edith acclimatis­es to her surroundin­gs, she stumbles unwittingl­y upon dark secrets.
