First movie by Guillermo del Toro. An alternative vampire story. Very good and original. Wonderful design and imaginative idea for the device. It's based on the fact that Del Toro had heard stories of decadent ladies wearing living insects as broaches. He combined this disturbing thing with his love for clockworks.
Ron Perlman stars as a comical as well as dangerous character.

The cover of the version I own is slightly misleading. The person who uses the device is an old man, not a young woman.
The DVD doesn't work in my VCD-player so I couldn't make snapshots. Got one from another site.
