The effects are great and there is a great story in there somewhere, but it focuses way more on the metaphor than the actual story.
Variation on a vampire tale. Good practical special effects and makeup.
It's a vampire movie that is an allegory for NAFTA.
An introduction of Del Toro's genius. A unique and modern horror classic. Importance of protecting family over eternal life.
Unique take on vampire lore that functions more as a fairy tale than horror movie, excellent score, Ron Perlman has lots of fun as a villain
Guillermo’s debut, a classic vampire tale featuring a shockingly young Ron Perlman
A great directorial debut for Guillermo del Toro.
You can not go wrong with anything from Del Toro. Well acted, creepy and great atmosphere
Unique vampire take by Guillermo de Toro. I enjoyed this more than I thought I would, but the backwards suit drove me nuts.
A trippy spin on vampire stories. Del Toro’s vision and style was clear from his first film!
