We’re in for a killer night with Guillermo del Toro’s dark fantasy debut. Nobody loves or understands movie monsters more than Guillermo del Toro, and in his debut film he gave us his skin-crawling take on the most enduring monster of them all: the vampire. Antique dealer Jesús (Federico Luppi) comes across a centuries-old contraption that inserts a needle into his skin and injects him with something terrible, and he soon feels like a young man again. But he’s tormented by cravings for blood that threaten his close relationship with his granddaughter Aurora (Tamara Shanath), and he’s targeted by an unscrupulous businessman (Claudio Brook) and his enforcer (del Toro regular Ron Perlman) who want the device to achieve immortality. Del Toro takes these familiar elements and weaves them into something that feels thrillingly new and achingly melancholy, like you’re seeing the vampire movie for the first time.
