Very much a first feature movie in that it’s influences are scattershot everywhere and it’s not nuanced in the slightest but it has those great GDT touches. Great villain and a lot of blood.

I first watched this in a group setting, which is not how this film should be viewed. It felt like I was watching a completely new film. It's Cronenberg-esque in some scenes, but instead of clinical, del Toro opts for religiosity. The blood licking is in cinema's top-5 erotic scenes.

Guillermo del Toro's first feature is ripe with body horror and a very cool looking gadget. The narrative isn't as strong as some of the other parts of of the film, but this is a unique take on the vampire genre.

I'm giving up on Guillermo del Toro. I've simply never liked anything he's made. Cronos starts interesting but becomes duller and duller as more madness ensues, sporting Terry Gilliamesque set pieces that awkwardly and self-consciously try to be outrageous and weird.

With a fairytale demeanour that lightens the mood, it's fixated on an imagination that I'm sure wanted to film much more explicitly.

Ron Perlman as a sort of anti-Renfield is pretty great. There's a reason that old old men are not normally the protagonists in films and it's because they are old old men. But this speaks universally on death and decrepency (which isn't a word and probably shouldn't be).

Starts off suspenseful and fun, kinda meanders and fades. The score and narration style probably adds a full point to my rating. An interesting start for the filmmaker.

I dig the mesh between two popular myths, but this film is rather lacking when compared to Del Toro's future films. There's very little suspense in the plot, the pace is boring and plodding, and for a director who's known for having fantastic shots, this film was middling at best in that regard. For what it's worth, its play on conventions is pretty interesting but the film lacks any emotional heft and the changes in tone feel more jarring than anything else.
