Synopsis:

Cronos is a horror-fantasy film written and directed by Guillermo del Toro. The story begins in the 16th century, when an alchemist creates a mysterious device capable of granting eternal life. While the mechanism offers youth and longevity, its gift comes at a harrowing and terrifying price.

Why we recommend it:

More than just a horror movie, "Cronos" explores the loneliness and anguish that accompany immortality, as well as the moral dilemmas faced when temptation arises. Guillermo del Toro's visionary direction shines through in this debut feature, skillfully weaving together horror and philosophical reflection to deliver an experience that is both visually striking and emotionally profound.
