Review of Cronos (1993) by Francisco G — 14 Nov 2012
The feature debut of Del Toro is a delight to appreciate not just for fans of the director but for Horror movie fans in general as well.
The way he deconstructs this simplistic vampire tale is astonishing. He kept everything very straight forward with only a couple of twists to make the story fully original. Not just that but add a very visual storytelling method (as Jesus transformation into a night creature) with inventive situations and characters and you have yourselves a lil' gem.
Supported by a great cast, Cronos already has all the director's signature marks we all came to love on his future and better polished movies but still manages to be quite charming and unique on it's own right and a definite must have for fans of the genre.
