Guillermo del Toro

4K RESTORATION | ONE NIGHT ONLY

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

Reviews

“Cronos surprises with its sophisticated and spirited look at a tale straight from the crypt.”

Kenneth Turan
Los Angeles Times

“A wonderfully baroque, gleeful subversion of the days of Hammer. A unique, terrifying mini-masterpiece.”

Steve Beard
Empire Magazine

“A most startling genre piece: tender, imaginative and wholly its own.”
