I am Jesus Gris

Cronos is a horror film my good friend Guillermo del Toro made back in 1992 where the protagonist finds a magic beetle looking artifact that pierces his flesh and gives him youth and vigor, also he ha stop drink blood to keep it going.  When I saw this golden beetle attaching itself to its host and giving him powers, I automatically thought of Blue Beetle.  Treble beetle or scare attaches itself to its host and also gives him powers but it is less bloody.  There is also a scene in Blue Beetle where the grandmother is channel surfing and she passes through  Cronos.  I didn't understand the reference when I watched it three weeks ago but now it makes sense.  Cronos is entertaining in the first half until the main character had his predictable fall from grace...literally lolz.  There was great acting all around and editing was well done.  The scenes where the beetle pierces the skin with its metal barbs come to mind.  It's great to see where my friend started his horror cinematic career and to see him now is fantastic.
