Re-watching Cronos recently, it struck me how clearly it showed what Guillermo del Toro would become obsessed with throughout his career: how delicate life is, the struggles of change, and the line between living and dying. The film really builds its emotional impact through quiet, personal scenes, and it feels like a preview of everything he’d do with The Devil’s Backbone, Pan’s Labyrinth, Crimson Peak, The Shape of Water, and even his upcoming Frankenstein. With that new film on the horizon, it feels like the perfect time to revisit Cronos – it’s a fantastic movie that deserves to be talked about just as much as his more famous, beautifully gothic works.

As a huge movie fan, I’m excited to share that James Cameron’s classic, The Terminator, is coming to Tubi on December 1st! It’s amazing to think this incredible film, which only cost $6 million to make, earned over $78 million worldwide when it came out in 1984. The story centers around a cyborg assassin – played by Arnold Schwarzenegger – sent back in time to eliminate Sarah Connor (Linda Hamilton), the future mother of the man who’s supposed to save humanity. Michael Biehn also stars as Kyle Reese, and you’ll also see Paul Winfield and Lance Henriksen in this iconic sci-fi thriller.
Fans have something to be excited about: new episodes of Who are on the way, plus a spin-off series called The War Between the Land and the Sea will arrive next year.

As a huge horror fan, I was thrilled to see A24 leaning into the intensity of that unforgettable scene! They’re actually selling a set of collectibles – and it’s pretty wild.
