The direction, acting, score, writing and sets are all superbly done. It has a great story and a genuine spooky atmosphere. It is also IMO the best version of The Headless Horseman story i have seen made into film. Also as Neverending said it is one of Burton's best movies.

Its one of the most creative and original vampire movies made..... For anyone who hasn't watched it, you really have to see it, great piece of cinema.
At this point I'd be happy to back Sleepy Hollow or Ringu, but I don't want to back anything that is going to make the final cut until Cronos has had every chance to make the final 20.

I have never seen Cronos but have meant to as i am a fan of Del Toro. I just havent gotten around to it. However i will back it based solely on your recommendation
