Esto se ha dicho de la R2 UK

Optimum Home Entertainment have announced the UK Region 2 DVD release of Cronos for 13th February 2006 priced at £15.99. Written and directed by Guillermo Del Toro (Hellboy, Blade 2, The Devil’s Backbone), CRONOS was Del Toro’s remarkable debut feature film and spins a unique tale of vampirism, immortality and family tragedy.

A sixteenth century Alchemist creates a mystical golden scarab, which imbues its owner with the power of eternal life but also a vampire’s thirst for blood. The scarab remains buried for centuries until an antiques dealer Jesus Gris (Federico Luppi) unearths the mechanism concealed inside a statue. However, what Jesus doesn’t know is that a dying old industrialist Dieter de la Guardia (Claudio Brook) is obsessed with the pursuit of this device to prolong his life, and with the help of his nephew Angel (Ron Perlman, Hellboy) will do anything to get his hands on it.

Del Toro spent some eight years developing the script of CRONOS and trying to get it funded. Made in his native Mexico and released in 1993, CRONOS contains many of the visual motifs that would characterise his later films, such as insect imagery, and is a good reminder of why Del Toro is now regarded as one of cinema’s leading horror filmmakers.
