The pale amphibian in the tank. The faun with the goat legs. The vampiric grandfather clinging to a gold beetle that grants him eternal life and a terrible thirst. Del Toro points the lens at the thing the audience has been trained to flinch from, holds it there a beat too long, and dares you to keep flinching. Thirty years and a shelf of statues later, that is still the whole trick, and it is still working.</p>Thu, 19 Mar 2026 13:00:00 +0000
