Cronos (1993) (Ultra HD Blu-ray) (UK Import)
The Blu-Ray was developed as a high-definition successor to the DVD and offers a significantly increased data rate and storage capacity compared to its predecessor. Blu-Rays can therefore store movies with significantly better resolution and offer enormously high picture quality on corresponding screens. Blu-Ray players are usually backward compatible with DVDs, so that they can also be played.

Oscar-winner Guillermo del Toro's (Pan's Labyrinth, The Shape of Water) directorial debut offers a unique take on the classic vampire story and went on to win the Critics' Week award at the Cannes Film Festival in 1993. When antiques dealer Jesus Gris (Federico Luppi) discovers an ancient artifact, in the form of a golden mechanical scarab, he is unaware of the power it holds. Whilst the parasite inside the device grants eternal life to its new host, it also causes an extreme aversion to daylight and an unquenchable thirst for human blood. Desperate to claim the device for himself, a dying millionaire (played by Claudio Brook) and his brutish nephew (Ron Perlman, Hellboy) are in hot pursuit.
