Plot Summary:
|
An aging antique agent, Jesus Gris, happens upon an swank mechanized scarab. When opened, it painfully stabs whomever is holding it, but the wound brings youthful vigor and a vampire's exigency as a replacement for blood. The device is relentlessly pursued by a dying tycoon, Dieter de la Guardia, whose nephew Angel, reluctant to see his uncle dwell a moment longer, must still do the old man's demand. Interval, Gris's desires endanger his own granddaughter, Aurora.

Cronos
Being the huge fan of del Toro that I am, this was required viewing. Del Toro started out in film at the tender age of 8, having already devoted his life to horror, he started filming homemade horror films. From this firm foundation he moved into special effects for the horror films/programs being made in the area. He eventually moved into directing TV programs, and from here he moved to his first feature length film, Cronos.
Cronos is the story of an aging antique seller, Jes?s Gris, who one day finds an ancient amulet within one of his antiques. It doesn't take long for curiosity to get the best of him and he begins to take a closer look at the amulet, what he finds begins to send his life into a whole new direction.
With Cronos, Del Toro strips down the idea of Vam...
