STORY TIME: My Grandpa Turned Into A Vampire!!!?! 😱🧛🏻♂️ (not clickbait)
˗ˏˋ suspirliam ˊˎ˗Jun 1, 2021Sometimes, you watch a director's debut feature and are floored by it. They exist fully formed and break out onto the scene with a fresh voice. Most debuts, though, are like Guillermo del Toro's Cronos. This is a film full of the director's trademark obsessions, and…

My goodness what a wonderful mess! I know nothing about Horror, yet I could spot such an international smorgasbord of horror love here that my head was spinning. 50’s B Movies, American International in the early 70's esthetic, Cronenbergian body horror, Asian…

I got to see the restoration with Guillermo del Toro present to speak before and after the film. One of the highlights of my life. Also, the last film I will ever watch at Sundance in Park City. End of an era.

- Nick Dubberly is "meh" onCronos
The premise was unique, however it almost seemed like it was a vampire film without really being a vampire film. Unfortunately I was mostly bored with this film because it tends to drag in several places. At least I learned how Ron Perlman got the Hellboy gig.
CvptvinHowdy likedCronosThis was actually weird and kind of like a different spin on a vampire film mixed in with a touch of "The Fly" body horror.
Justin likedCronosThis was pretty good but I honestly thought it dragged near the end. Still a good debut film for Del Toro.

Metacritic
Cronos is a thoughtful, intelligent film, and as a horror movie (which is, I think, its main mission in life) it's genuinely disquieting.

Austin Chronicle
[It] may not be your cup of tea, but you have to admire the style, sincerity, and overall sense of craft even if you don't fancy the comic-book gore.

For all its absurdity Cronos generates a real moral conviction.
