Guillermo del toro

Distinct visual style, technique and recurring themes
His movies are surreal with fantasy/fairy tales or horror in modern or near modern day times. E.g Pan's labyrinth is a fantasy set in 1944. His movies are also very dark and though might end with the hero winning at the end of the film they don't win with out a lost. E.g Cronos the hero becomes a vampire.
The main characters are also isolated for the rest of the work. E.g Hellboy want to be know but the world.

Guillermo uses two main colours Blue and Red and his posters help show this. His Period movies are all set in spain or Mexico. He also uses at the idea of bugs or bug like creatures a lot E.g. Mimic is about cockroaches. As well bugs he also uses teeth a lot e.g. vampires.
