Cronos, he stops and walks through two doors
A mysterious device designed to grant its owner eternal life returns after four hundred years, leaving a trail of destruction in its wake. In an interview included with the Criterion edition of the film, Ron Perlman says that Angel was supposed to speak fluent Spanish. Ron Perlman tried it, but Guillermo del Toro found his reading completely useless. So the character was changed to an American expat who hates being in Mexico so much that he speaks the little Spanish he does intentionally badly. Behind him, reflected in the glass of the doors, are the crew and equipment. [discussing why Deiter wants Cronos] Jesus Gris: He thinks it’ll help him live longer.

Angel de la Guardia: [laughs] That son of a bitch does nothing but shit and piss all day long, and he wants to live longer? Several explicit scenes of nudity were added in the US video release. While the main American theatrical release features a prologue and bits of dialogue in English, the secondary market release will be entirely in Spanish.

This is apparently Guillermo del Toro’s first feature film, and while it’s a bit gritty, it’s also very creative and different. However, because it is so brutal, bloody, and violent, it is NOT a film for everyone.
“Cronos” begins with a strange prologue
It seems that centuries ago, an alchemist invented some strange device – and it was able to grant eternal life. The film now jumps to the present. An elderly man and his granddaughter have found a strange metal device – the same one that the alchemist created. However, they have no idea what its purpose is or how to make it work. Accidentally, the old man is able to activate it – and stabs him – causing a lot of pain and blood. Oddly enough, he soon starts feeling better and looking younger – and feels a strong urge to try the device again.
I won’t say more – you have to see it
Meanwhile, a rich and nasty old sicko somehow finds out about the device the old man discovered – and sends his sociopathic nephew (Ron Perlman) to get the device. There’s A LOT more to this story than that – and it gets really weird, brutal and bloody. However, I’ve seen it described as a “vampire” movie and that’s a HIGHLY oversimplified description. There’s a lot more to it than that – and you just have to see it to understand it. really. The movie is wildly creative and cool, but like I said, it’s not for everyone.
By the way, what about Ron Perlman?
It’s not exactly a horror movie in the traditional sense and it’s excellent. He’s carved out an interesting niche for himself, starring in some of the weirdest international movies. I’m not complaining – I just love his film projects because they’re so incredibly diverse. Here he’s in a Mexican film, but he’s also starred in French films (“City of Lost Children”), films about the Russo-German conflict in World War II (“Enemy at the Gates”)… and the Hellboy films! Talk about a man of many talents!
