Special Features: New 4K Restoration

Jesus Gris (Federico Luppi), a kindly old Mexico City antiques dealer, discovers a mysterious artifact: a gilded mechanical scarab containing a still-living insect. Accidentally, Jesus trips the device’s mechanism and learns its terrible secret: It injects its holder with an immortality potion, one with vampiric side effects. Guillermo del Toro’s debut film displays all of his cinematic trademarks: an innovative take on established tropes in horror, fantasy and folklore; captivating imagery; Gothic atmospherics leavened with droll humor; and emotionally affecting characters and storytelling.
