I liked all of them... I mean. I loved Stoker, and Crimson Peak was extremely beautiful. Maps to the Stars was kinda weird... but I still enjoyed it - I wouldn't consider it horror though. More like a Drama/Thriller.

Spoiler alert: Sean Bean's character dies

I love them all, too. I don't consider any of them to be "horror" (not that there's anything wrong with that); they're creative, genre-blending movies. And each is the vision of a master, auteur director: David Cronenberg, Park chan-Wook, and Guillermo del Toro. Mia is so different in each one - wonderful performances. Each film has a top-notch cast.

None of them are horror flicks. I enjoyed them all as well, with Maps being my fav. I thought Mia did an outstanding job as Agatha. Such a complicated character -- she had to be crazy and sympathetic and menacing and terrible all at the same time and she slayed. Of course being Cronenberg, it had elements of horror but it was more psychological than physical for the most part.

The real monster was played by Julianne Moore, lol.

Guillermo del Toro has said that Crimson Peak was a gothic romance, not a horror movie. It may have been sold wrong in the trailer, etc., but I thought everyone was good in it (of course it helps that I liked all four main actors).

I wouldn't call Stoker horror either, although I think that may be the closest to it. Another excellent cast. Mia consistently works with quality actors.
