"Feb 16 @ Hulu Guillermo Del Toro has a taste for blood, gore and the things that make you squeamish. Here he gives to you a tale of a parasitic insect that can give it's host immortal life.. at a price."

"Guillermo Del Toro loves kids in danger stories. 'Cronos' (which will soon be on Criterion) is a very original look at the creation of a vampire shown through the eyes of a child and his grandfather. "

"Aivan mainio debyytti del Torolta, josta voi helposti jo huomata ohjaajan taidot. Tarina aukeaa hitaasti, mutta palkitsee katsojansa lopussa. Harvemmin näkee näin viihdyttävää pohdiskelua ihmiselämän pituudesta ja sen loppumisesta. Myös kauhuelementit ovat ohjaajan tulevien elokuvien tasoisia. Samaa voi sanoa myös elokuvan fantasiapuolesta. Kokonaisuutena vakuuttava esikoinen. "

"Cronos is a distinctive debut film, a nice throwback to old horror classics and a wonderful re-imagination to overused vampire genre. It tackles humanity and immortality with a clear thematic entirety. On the other hand, some of the elements are too obvious and the film could have more polished. It, though, has a subtle political message, while it takes look at the US-Mexican relationship. Political but subtle – that's good but unfortunately rare."
