With del Toro’s new film, Nightmare Alley, we thought we’d take a look back at del Toro’s career so far, ranking his movies from worst to best in preparation for del Toro’s next project.
A young del Toro was recruited by Miramax to helm Mimic, a sci-fi horror movie with a considerably larger budget than any other project del Toro had worked on prior.
It remains an intelligent, lovingly-made movie that earned praise from numerous horror, sci-fi, and kaiju fans, including fellow filmmaker Rian Johnson.
Nearly twenty years later, and even after the subsequent thirty MCU movies that followed, Hellboy remains a very different sort of superhero movie, one that was equally funny as it was horror-centric.
