Cronos. 1993.
We get the back story of a alchemist finding a secret to living within a device called "Cronos" that disappears and manages to find it's way into a antiques shop where Federico Luppi finds it and uses it. Claudio Brook is the millionaire guy who is dying and wants the Cronos device and has his nephew Ron Perlman head out to find it.
Guillermo Del Toro's imagination on the vampire genre comes to the screen but in a different way, yeah there is blood drinking but done differently where the fangs are not shown but the device itself is the blood sucker. Del Toro has come a long way from this one as it was his first feature film and manages to create something new that can keep you intrigued from start to finish and also entertained with some laughs from Perlman and his hatred for his Uncle. The film does have it's moments of being gruesome, bizarre and weird but never goes off course.
