About this listen
For this month’s Criterion of the Month, Matt and James sink their teeth into Guillermo del Toro’s haunting debut feature, Cronos (1993). A strange, poetic twist on vampirism, the film blends horror, fantasy, and gothic romance in a way only del Toro could. The conversation explores the movie’s eerie atmosphere, its meditations on immortality, and the seeds of del Toro’s signature style that would later flourish in films like Pan’s Labyrinth and The Shape of Water. Beyond its genre elements, we look at why Cronos has earned its place in the Criterion Collection, how it holds up more than thirty years later, and what makes it such a fascinating entry point into the career of one of modern cinema’s most imaginative directors.
