  Right out the gate, Del Toro embraces the fairy tale aesthetic so well; how to whisk you off into the curiosities and whimsy of a magical world while always making it clear that grave consequences and/or mortality are part of the bargain. His small-scale debut 'Cronos' is slight in emotional impact, but so richly detailed - and with a wicked little lean into body horror - that it sucks you enough into the journey that you don't mind the weak third act. A sympathetic performance from Federico Luppi kept me invested throughout and thankfully Ron Perlman's ear-grating attempts at Spanish are held to a minimum.

  Del Toro's feature debut may not be exactly a classic but is a smart horror film that can be quite disturbing and unpredictable in the way it uses a lot of style and gore to create a curious parallel between a man's obsession with being young and drug addiction.

  Guillermo proved he had what it takes to be a good director in his debut feature. Cronos is a horror film about an ancient device that grants immortality to the owner at the cost of their humanity. One dying man seeks to obtain this device no matter what the cost and many unfortunate events occurred. It's a little bit slow and the storyline was rather bizarre,nevertheless it was violent and gory with surprising star Ron Perlman playing the antagonist.
