Mexican writer and director Guillermo del Toro made his feature debut with this dark and twisted drama. An antiques dealer finds an ancient mechanical device that promises eternal life which is sought by a dying and wealthy man. Del Toro creates an utterly original and spellbinding tale with a lot of heart and humor within the horror genre. While staying true to the genre, Del Toro doesn't forgets the story that pays homage to the vampire and Frankenstein stories in touching and profound moments that makes the film a triumph and Del Toro a master. YRCinema's coverage of films on DVD.
