A certified GENIUS. It seems Hollywood is now snubbing this imagination Titan. I hate horror because most of them are just cheap jump scares, but Guillermo Del Toro is so artistic in his creations you'll be drawn in.

[@mermaid_at_heart213]

I mostly agree, however, if you seek out films that aren't typical Hollywood-esque just made fast and for a profit instead of artistic vision there are a multitude that don't just rely on lame jump scares. Unfortunately, a lot of movie-goers are fine with just getting scared by jump scares, so many filmmakers take the easy way out. Personally, I can't stand the jump scares that are just loud noises with nothing to be really afraid or creeped out by. Jump scares don't usually get a reaction from me, but I do get startled by the sudden really loud noises, and I don't consider that being afraid. It's more of a sensory overload for me.

[@kpamiose]

@@mermaid_at_heart213 Well, I hope to pleasantly surprised one day. I was disappointed so many times that I just gave up on the whole horror genre.

[@TheEnigmaticBM39]

Horror is not just one genre or way of film making. If you want more disturbing and less jump scary movies.....watch stuff like hereditary, midsommar, it follows...etc...but that doesn't disqualify horror films that have jump scares. Atleast I'm assuming you're referring to those fluff pg 13 cheap horror films? If so, then I agree.

[@kpamiose]

@@TheEnigmaticBM39 Jumpscares have their place in horror and are integral part of the genre. However, relying too much on them without context in order to just to create a temporary "scare high" or adrenaline rush is just juvenile. A good horror movie not just scares you but makes you fear and wonder about the unknown.

I am glad to hear that “Guillermo Del Toro” and “Hideo Kojima” are going to be working on more video game’s together. I know that “Death Stranding” got a lot of negative reviews from critics and gamers because of the gameplay mechanics, but that was “Hideo Kojima’s” first video game that he made after Konami let him go. Plus, now “Guillermo Del Toro” said that he is going to be working more closely with “Kojima” too make more video game’s, that they both hope fans of his and Kojima will enjoy and love.

Since the first time I had the pleasure to encounter Del Toro work, I instantly became fascinated and entranced by the complex beauty of his creatures. True work of Art and creative dedication, adorned with intricate details and lore, they are impactful masterpieces... but the only disturbing part in this video is the way you pronounce 'Guillermo'.

What I find cool about the red phantoms is that the one crawling on the floor in the first clip was played by actor Javier Botet. He has a condition that causes him to be unnaturally skinny, lanky, and gives him the ability to move his bones and joints in an unnatural fashion. This has actually landed him many film roles where practical effects could be used Instead of cgi. One of my favorite roles of his is the crooked man in I think it was one of the insidious movies

[@vilainm99]

He also plays Mama in the epynom... epynim... movie with the same name. Great performance!

I absolutely love Guillermo's work, and I wish I could tell him that he's kept something rare in film making very alive. I understand that all of them have to make some money, but even if you didn't have pressure from producers or controlling egomaniac actors, bringing what you create in your mind to the screen must be incredibly hard these days. There are endless obstacles that most let cave in the process from dream to screen. Even long ago when they hadn't the means and technology to create what they can do today, people like Ray Harryhousen and others before him made effects and films that thrilled me when I was a kid, and you could tell they were trying hard to just tell you a tale, and give you beyond your money's worth. They simply wanted to let you see what they saw in their mind, and many film makers today can't say that. They slap together what they think everyone expects, and not only is it spineless to do that, it's a rip off for us and makes a crappy film. Hats off for Guillermo!

[@kennethsatria6607]

The protein talk made me notice the monsters in his movies are often extremely present in the story as their own characters and in the world, not just a creature to fight even when that is the main objective, and usually you really get a good look at them despite that old rule the less you see is better. Like the pacific rim kaiju, they may be clone made but are still designed distinctly despite the close relation, in that first movie they show a level of intelligence and cunning at every major encounter through their body language and some facial expression, as well as other emotions relating to anger or hatred towards their enemy just as much as the pilots often express, its kind of treating them like soldiers. This kind of stuff is unseen in other enemy monsters of modern movies, the White Spikes for example despite a cool design are kind of bland in the way of characterization and by extent their designs as they operate as a hive or a pack its also just all disposable clones.

The Orphanage is my favorite ghost movie ever. Amazing man.

Ah yes Gilmero Del Toro. I loved Pan's Larbynth and Daly in the Water!

It's Guillermo Del Toro Not Gilmero Del Toro

I think you mean Galmayro Del Toro? I loved Scary Stories to Tell in the Dank.

[@adamw.7169]

@@jmhh3264 come on get your facts straight. Its clearly Gilmero Del Tokyo. Clearly I am the only real fan here.

[@jmhh3264]

@@adamw.7169 No I was definitely correct the first time, Guerrero Del Taco maybe you need to go back to movie college my dude, Gilmero Del Tokyo is the guy who wrote Star Track: the Final Jedi.

It’s so cool to see that the Reapers from Blade heavily inspired the Strigoi from The Strain!! It’s such an underrated series (I’ve yet to read the books and I’d imagine they’re probably better but still)

[@decaf1964]

Can we also add the ghost/creature from the 2013 movie "Mama"? The movie was directed by Argentinian director Andy Muschietti but the executive producer was Guillermo del Toro. I really liked that movie.

[@HazbinCovenWitch]

YOOO! Pan's Labyrinth was so weird, but so cool! One of my fave movies!

Doug Jones is the most under-appreciated actor in the world next to Andy Serkis. Just because they are hidden behind make-up or CGI they don't get the praise that they deserve so much. When you are so limited by that it is so much more impressive how expressive they are in their roles. For me the creature that stuck mostly in my head was the tooth fairy in Hellboy. Even if they are fully CGI, they left an impression on me.

Such a genius! A few years at the Minneapolis Institute of Arts had an exhibit dedicated to his work. My kids were young & squirrely so I couldn't meander & gaze obsessively over all his work but I was able to enjoy it quite thoroughly.

Your pronunciation is ghastly, but the video is good.

WHAT A EXCELLENT REVIEW CHEERS BUDDY MADE MY DAY

[@noahgtg]

I’m interested in seeing Guillermo make a Berserk movie/show. Animated, of course
