Like most visionary directors, Guillermo del Toro tends to be divisive. Despite his gregarious and charming personality, his famous movies, from Cronos to Nightmare Alley, can divide fans. There are those who think he’s a genius, weaving in a deep love of cinema and especially monsters, and those who feel like he’s more of a glorified production designer, able to bring in disparate elements but rarely telling a cohesive story.
Release Date August 22, 1997 Cast Mira Sorvino , Jeremy Northam , Alexander Goodwin , Giancarlo Giannini , Charles S. Dutton , Josh Brolin Runtime 105 Writers Donald A. Wollheim , Matthew Robbins , Guillermo del Toro 11 'Hellboy' Starring Ron Perlman, Selma Blair, Jeffrey Tambor In the superhero-drenched marketplace of today, it’s easy to take a film like Hellboy for granted. But back in 2004, when the film was released, it was a serious uphill battle.
Release Date July 11, 2013 Cast Charlie Hunnam , Diego Klattenhoff , Idris Elba , Rinko Kikuchi , Charlie Day , Burn Gorman Runtime 131 Writers Travis Beacham , Guillermo del Toro 8 'Cronos' Starring Federico Luppi, Ron Perlman, Claudio Brook Like most first features, Cronos lets viewers see the outlines of what del Toro would go on to become, even if the film itself also shows the growing pains of a filmmaker finding his voice.
Del Toro's first remake, as well as his first movie to eschew the supernatural, Nightmare Alley still harkens to a recurring theme in the director's work, which is that humans are the real monsters. However, while these human monsters were typically the antagonists, in Nightmare Alley, del Toro has the freedom to explore the inner monstrosity of Stanton Carlisle woven with the character's self-delusion and inability to escape his doom.
