“I mention that it’s mostly a movie made like they used to make ’em, with one big exception: for as much as this is a movie for cinephiles, it’s also a movie for women. That’s not to say that dudes won’t like it too; on the contrary, I think a great many gentlemen will enjoy this film. But, as a genre fan myself, I can with my whole heart say that this was an instance where I as a woman felt like I was invited to the horror party instead of being treated like a boring old afterthought. And maybe that’s why the mostly male film critic “elite” have been so hard on Crimson; spoiler alert: it’s not for them.”
