Cronos Reviews
Chicago Sun-Times
Roger Ebert
Cronos is not really about plot. It is about character.
Philadelphia Inquirer
Steven Rea
Guillermo del Toro's feature debut is an arch twist on the vampire tale.
ReelViews
James Berardinelli
There were no unnerving images in Cronos. There's a lot of blood and gore -- but that's rather routine.
Chicago Tribune
Achy Obejas
While the film's first half entices with its secrets, the second half falls into a predictable narrative that refuses to even suggest possibilities.
Austin Chronicle
Marc Savlov
It's genuinely disquieting. Which is all you really need.
Slant Magazine
Glenn Heath Jr.
Guillermo del Toro says, "Cronos is an exploded view of my brain."
Washington Post
Richard Harrington
It's also an amazingly assured feature debut for the 29-year-old del Toro, who is both its writer and director.
Parallax View
Sean Axmaker
... a weird, heady alchemic brew of antiquated clockwork mechanism, mutant organisms, demented villains driven by a greed for youth...
IGN DVD
R.L. Shaffer
A beautifully creepy, hypnotic horror-thriller that paints a vivid picture of why del Toro is such a beloved, wonderfully haunting filmmaker today.
EmanuelLevy.Com
Emanuel Levy
With this stylish horor film, Mexican director Guillermo del Toro makes a splashy feature debut that impresses narratively as well as technically.
Sarasota Herald-Tribune
Christopher Lloyd
A low-budget horror/fantasy with some rough edges, Cronos reveals the dark genius of Guillermo del Toro's fecund mind.
Los Angeles Times
Kenneth Turan
Cronos surprises with its sophisticated and spirited look at a tale straight from the crypt.
Combustible Celluloid
Jeffrey M. Anderson
Del Toro conjures up a delightfully potent atmosphere and motion for it, born no doubt of a real appreciation for such things.
Bright Lights Film Journal
Matthew Sorrento
The truly child-bound perspectives of The Devil's Backbone and Pan's Labyrinth are still to come, though Aurora has flights of del Torian wonder.
Chicago Reader
Jonathan Rosenbaum
You have to admire the style, sincerity, and overall sense of craft even if you don't fancy the comic-book gore.
New York Times
Janet Maslin
A very stylish and sophisticated Mexican variation on some age-old themes.
KPBS.org
Beth Accomando
He also makes the refreshing choice of having the monster be all too human and fragile... Cronos is a stylish and innovative take on the familiar vampire movie.
Washington Post
Desson Thomson
An enormously enjoyable gothic yarn from Mexico.
TV Guide
Cronos, at $2 million, was one of Mexico's most expensive motion pictures ever, the cost reflected not so much by epic scope and visuals as in polished production values and careful design.
