Around this films release, people were asking Guillermo Del Toro for a horror film. He released short video's of haunting visuall effects of puppetry. What people began to expect was a typical horror film, but what Del Toro eventually made, was a Ghotic Romance thriller with rather horror in the back seat. These aren't your typical boring evil ghosts. There are legit some terrifying scenes in the film, but these shots are more haunting than anything jumping. It shocks you more visually and emotion, rather than slapstick jumpscary stuff you get usually.
Suprisingly there are some horrific violent confrontations between characters that gets too bloody, which makes all the red stand out in snow or the house. The house looks beautifull, you know Del Toro took care of it's look like it's a character on ot's own. All the furniture, the dust, cobwebs, the colours of the walls, all look like they come from a fantasy film. Which is expected in a Del Toro film.
Last thing to mention is how gorgeous the costumes in this film is. There is no way they could wear these dresses once every day back then, but whatever.
