Guillermo del Toro, sculpting the insect’s tail in clay, for Cronos.
Guess who came across an unexpected amount of cash and bought CRONOS today!? Damn straight! This might just be the greatest single-disc edition I’ve seen. Seriously:
So pleased!!! Del Toro’s note are the best: characters biographies, notes for his crew on the gothic, lighting and alchemy! I’m in heaven. I’m also getting my Criterions of In the Realm of Senses and Empire of Passion tomorrow! 4 new Criterions in less than a week is too good to be true, considering I was broke as hell for most of the week.
I’m also quite excited for these two Guillermo Del Toro-produced films.
Although it stars Katie Holmes, Don’t Be Afraid of the Dark looks very good and I’ve only heard great things about it. Initially slated for a PG-13 release, this received an R rating for the amount of “pervasive” scaryness and judging from the teaser trailer, I can see how this might turn out to be true. Now let’s just hope the creatures are not entirely CG.
I can only assume this gorgeous poster was drawn by Troy Nixey, the director, who also happens to be an established comic book artist.
As for Los Ojos de Julia (aka Julia’s Eyes), I have no idea what it is about, but it’s Spanish and they’re usually very good at horror so what the hell, right? Which reminds I still have to see The Orphanate.
