While the film's first half entices with its secrets, the second half falls into a predictable narrative that refuses to even suggest possibilities.

Guillermo del Toro says, "Cronos is an exploded view of my brain."
December 10, 2010 | Rating: 4/5 | Full Review… -
This is a wonderfully baroque, gleeful subversion of the days of Hammer. A unique, terrifying mini-masterpiece.

You have to admire the style, sincerity, and overall sense of craft even if you don't fancy the comic-book gore.

Audience Reviews for Cronos

Dec 22, 2017Del 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.Carlos M Super Reviewer

Jan 24, 2017Guillermo 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.Sylvester K Super Reviewer

Jul 28, 2013Bizarre and creepy spin on the vampire mythos, del Toro's debut is filled with superb little details but I found the central story un-engaging and rather too self-contained. The interest lies more in spotting motifs that have since recurred in del Toro's other, more successful films.Daniel P Super Reviewer
