Guillermo del Toro signing The Strain June 6, 2009

A plane lands at JFK and mysteriously goes dark, doors sealed and lights off – everyone on board is discovered dead. Ephraim Goodweather must work quickly to find a cause before panic spreads. Four passengers have survived – but when all two hundred corpses disappear on the same night, things get rapidly worse. Soon Eph and a small band of helpers find themselves battling to protect not only their own loved ones, but the whole city, against an ancient threat to humanity.

Guillermo del Toro came to prominence with cult horror movies such as Chronos and The Devil’s Backbone and made his Hollywood directorial debut with the classic Blade II. Rapidly followed by the box office and critical hit Hellboy and the Oscar-winning Pan’s Labyrinth, del Toro has established himself as one of the leading directors in the genre. He’s currently working on the eagerly anticipated The Hobbit.
