Plot Synopsis
Storyline
In 1535, an alchemist builds an extraordinary mechanism encapsulated into a small golden device. The invention, designed to convey eternal life to its owner, survives its maker until 1997, when it shows up with an antiques dealer. Fascinated with the strange device, Gris (Luppi) doesn't note that there's more than one person looking for it. The promise of eternal life has become an obsession for old and sick Mr. De la Guardia (Brook). He and his nephew (Perlman) will do anything to get the Chronos Invention.

This is one of the best horror films of the 90's. It has an excellent plot, a great script, good acting, and masterful direction. The horror scenes were brilliantly executed, the humor well-balanced, the cinematography effective, and the make-up effects were stunning. Don't worry if you hate subtitles, this one will have you gripped until the last frame. 8.5/10.
