Trilogía de Guillermo del Toro (Cronos / The Devil's Back / Pan's Labyrinth) (The Criterion Collection)

Throughout a career that encompasses both visually arresting art-house hits and big-budget Hollywood spectacles, director Guillermo del Toro has continually redefined and elevated the horror genre with his deeply personal explorations of myths and monsters. These three Spanish-language films, each a tale of childhood in troubled times, showcase his singular fusion of the fantastic and the real. Drawing inspiration from a rich variety of sources, from Alfred Hitchcock to Francisco de Goya, the gothic-infused stories collected here populated by vampires, ghosts, and a fairy-tale princess make evident why del Toro is considered the master cinematic fabulist of our time.
