Plot: A strange object, the "Cronos device," has been found inside the statue of an angel in an antique store. While the dealer, Jesus Gris, is holding the device, it springs open and its metallic legs pierces his flesh. Once "bitten," he develops a craving for human blood, and his body grows more and more youthful with each drink. As the addiction spreads through his body, he realizes he desires the blood of his innocent granddaughter. In horror, he sacrifices himself, and destroys the Cronos, for love.Vampires and villains hold sway in this Cannes Festival Critics' Week Winner which tells the tale of the "Cronos Device," a 14th-century golden nugget that holds the key to eternal life.

From the acclaimed director of THE DEVIL'S BACKBONE (2001) and MIMIC (1997) Guillermo del

 Packed with stylish mood, lovely old fashioned looking production values and Luppi's tour-de-force performance; this is eccentric, off-beat and impressive stuff. ... There is nothing out there quite like this bizarre delight.  -- (TheVideoGraveYard.com)
...outstanding, and for horror fans who love exquisite filmmaking, a must see.-- (eSplatter.com)

Good story, but slow in parts. This spanish film is worth a rent if you're interested in a different vampire film, but don't expect a lot of action or neck-biting. 6/10--FrighT MasteR (UHM)
