It was, and that is one of the worst movies I’ve seen from Guillermo Del Toro IMO. If you enjoyed his adaptation of Frankenstein, you’re doing yourself a disservice if you haven’t seen Pan’s Labyrinth or The Devil’s Backbone. Depends on if you’re okay watching subtitled, though.
Don’t forget Pinocchio. In my opinion, that is the best Del Toro movie. Practically flawless and it is a crime that Netflix didnt put it in cinemas and that they refuse to put it on DVD or bluray. Fuck them for real.
I’ll admit I haven’t seen Pan’s yet and I will be watching it this Friday after remembering about it. My first child was born in 2019 which is probably why it fell off my list.
I really enjoyed his adaption of Pinocchio a couple years ago.
I did watch Chronos yesterday for the first time, and while it’s quite dated now the overall premise and story still stands out to some degree.

it was very pretty, but it was weak otherwise. i really expected more compelling storytelling from him.

Or motherfucking Pacific Rim. That movie is literally just “big robot go boom” and it’s fuckin awesome.
Crimson Peak was pretty meh imo. The visuals were interesting, and I liked the designs of the ghosts.
I haven’t watched Frankenstein yet but I want to. Stupid Netflix.

Pan’s Labyrinth and Devil’s Backbone are both really good. Much better than Cronos imo (which was also pretty good)
Pan’s Labyrinth is soooo fuckin good. And brutal.
