TRAILER - CRONOS (1992)

The debut film from Guillermo Del Toro is a near perfect film and one of the best original vampire films of all time. I have always felt that this is the type of vampire story Coppola would have told had he made an original film instead of his take on the classic Bram Stoker story.

Narrator: [over the opening sequence] In 1536, fleeing from the Inquisition, the alchemist Uberto Fulcanelli disembarked in Veracruz, Mexico. Appointed official watchmaker to the Viceroy, Fulcanelli was determined to perfect an invention which would provide him with the key to eternal life. He was to name it... the Cronos device. 400 years later, one night in 1937, part of the vault in a building collapsed. Among the victims was a man of strange skin, the color of marble in moonlight. His chest mortally pierced, his last words... Suo tempore. This was the alchemist.

See you on forty deuce,
