The Start-Cronos

As we continue to take a look at directors' first films, we look at one of Zach's favorites in Guillermo Del Toro. A film revolving around an antique shop owner Jesus who stumbles upon an ancient relic that basically, turns you into a vampire. For a director whose style relies heavily on practical effects and mythology, you begin to see these tropes form as well as ones that Del Toro would later stop using, such as exposition, to better portray his stories. While this is only the beginning for Del Toro, for Jesus, he will be reborn.
