Review of Cronos (1993) by Carl F — 06 Oct 2008

I like Cronenberg films particularly Naked Lunch and Existenz. Del Toro is Cronenberg lite, a more accessible version with a Spanish accent. This early work could have have been made by Cronenberg. A new take on an old vampire story, the idea is good, the creepy atmosphere is fitting and the cast are sound (if unspectacular).

I get the feeling the money ran out half way through and the film is at least half an hour too short.
