Mexican Gothic

Not nearly as atmospheric as the Crimson Peak comparisons would have you think going in. Mexican Gothic is far more in line with A Cure for Wellness set in a very lite Guillermo del Toro mansion. The plot is predictable, and the attempts at suspense and tension are not adequate enough for the lacklustre finale revelation. Yet, I did enjoy the fleshed out protagonist and her sassy free spirited nature in contrast and intelligent defiance to the patriarchal traditional and racist Doyle family.
