Down To Watch

#265 - Cronos (1992)


Listen Later

This week, GDT takes DtW to Mexico for some fantastical bloody business! Dan and Raul picked the earliest Guillermo Del Toro feature film for a trip to the mystical and macabre with Cronos, the 1992 quasi-vampire movie that highlights a lot of what would become Del Toro's signature style. An old man and his granddaughter run an antiques shop where a mobster's goons fail to find a magical brass scarab. When the man discovers and applies it's unique abilities, his life turns around but the mobster is mad and the granddaughter is afraid of what her beloved grandpa is becoming. A spooky look into the origins of one of our most imaginative directors working today, but was it fascinating enough for the guys to recommend? Is eternal life worth living with a crazy complexion? Answers within!
