Guillermo del Toro remains one of the most dynamic and singular directors in modern cinema. His movies infuse horror with a dark fairy-tale ethos, creating unique narratives that share the timeless qualities of myths and folk stories. It has allowed him to push the boundaries of genre filmmaking like no other, netting him a trio of Oscars and a handful of classic movies in the bargain.Horror is his forte, though what that constitutes grows a little fuzzy with del Toro’s movies. The Shape of Water could conceivably be called a horror story, as could Pacific Rim. The director plays with the conventions of horror like paint, mixing in romance, comedy, and even Gothic melodrama depending on the project. Below is a list of his ten best works that fit most comfortably within his chosen genre, even as some of them nibble around the edges.As always, the director creates a lush visual world, which in this case centers around the titular rotting mansion full of ghosts and secrets. In this case, however, the plot can’t escape the surroundings, which overwhelm it despite fine performances from the cast and a strong grasp of the narrative. The world ultimately drowns the story it was built to tell.
