Reaction: Writer Rene Menzie followed up their first film for the studio, Lock Every Door, with another successful female-led, literary-based thriller. The studio has no complaints on this one as it surpassed our financial expectations.

"Mexican Gothic takes its sweet time getting going on its story. I was about to give up around the midway point when there were still not very many plot developments, but once it finally got going it became a thrilling story." - Gillian Donaldson, Variety

"Guillermo del Toro's latest uses his talents of otherworldly fantasy and mixing horror and romance. It's not a perfect film, and on paper the story is actually pretty silly, but ends up working at the end of the day thanks to del Toro's direction and some wise casting." - Stan Kyle, Omaha World-Herald

"Mexican Gothic is too silly in the end to be taken very seriously, with ludicrous plot developments rivaling M. Night Shyamalan. Despite the ridiculous story, long running time and unnecessary information and diversions, it all still almost worked thanks to the style of director Guillermo del Toro." - Dave Manning, Ridgefield Press

Rated R for violence, frightening imagery, language and some sexual content
