"Not everything is garbage," Dieter insists to his thuggish nephew Angel (Perlman)... Del Toro, too, knows that he is working in a genre typically dismissed as trash, but nonetheless, like an alchemist, transmutes it into pure cinematic gold.

Rating: 3/4 --
Guillermo del Toro's feature debut is an arch twist on the vampire tale.

Philadelphia Inquirer
[T]his is more gothic romance than horror, as del Toro's commitment to the wondrously grotesque transforms stock elements into something richer and more profound. -- Grade: A-
A.V. Club
4 stars out of 5 -- It's shadowy and tender, but shot through with biting wit.
Uncut
A most startling genre piece: tender, imaginative and wholly its own.

Time Out
Guillermo del Toro struck a fresh slant on the vampire genre with this stately blend of magic realism, melodrama and Cronenbergian body horror.

Product Description:
Vampires and villains hold sway in this Cannes Festival Critics' Week Winner which tells the tale of the "Cronos Device," a 14th-century golden scarab that holds the key to eternal life. Nightmarish and surreal, this stylish film still manages to get across a healthy dose of humor as its characters battle for control of the insidious device. From the acclaimed director of THE DEVIL'S BACKBONE (2001) and MIMIC (1997) Guillermo del Toro.
