Guillermo del Toro (Hellboy, Pan`s Labyrinth) made an auspicious, audacious feature debut with Cronos, a highly unorthodox tale about the seductiveness of the idea of immortality. Kindly antiques dealer Jesus Gris (Federico Luppi) happens upon an ancient golden device in the shape of a scarab, and soon finds himself possessor and victim of its sinister, addictive powers, as well as the target of a mysterious, crude American named Angel (a delightfully deranged Ron Perlman [Hellboy]). Featuring marvelous special makeup effects and the unforgettably haunting imagery for which del Toro has become world-renowned, Cronos is a visually rich and emotionally captivating dark fantasy.

Ich find ihn sehr gut!

Ein etwas anderer Vampirfilm. Ruhig und philosophisch. Geschmäcker sind bekanntlich verschieden, doch wer "Begierde"(the hunger) mochte, sollte mal einen Blick riskieren. Vor allemzu diesem Preis :-)
Na ja...

ein älteres spanisches Machwerk von del Toro. Meiner Meinung nach aber nicht sonderlich Spannend. Aber nach dem HELLBOY-Hype wird wohl jeder Streifen vom Regisseur auf DVD verwertet...
