A new tab will open and a basic security check like a captcha will be performed. After completing the check, close that page and return here.
Refresh this page. Wait 30 secs. The movie should load and you can just hit play.

The movie should now start playing in a new tab of your browser or begin downloading to your device. This option has the minor disadvantage that English-language movies with optional subtitles in the movie player will not include these subs with this method.
The new system here has been designed keeping in mind even people with low internet speeds sub-8mbps. Even if you have a really bad connection, you should still be able to watch the movie without any issues if you:
Start the movie. Pause it. Wait for 30-45 seconds. Start playing again.
This 'Can't Watch' method really only works if it's your specific device/browser that's interfering with the player. There is no real advantage of speed here. Or if there is a temp network glitch or read lag from the server disk.
If you're still having problems, try using 'Incognito mode' in your browser. On iPhones, especially older ones, use Chrome instead of Safari. Might help.
IMPORTANT: Please make sure that the newly opened tab is not an ad popup asking you to download some software or whatever. Close any such popups and don't download any software - those are ads. Nothing is needed to be done by you other than to complete the security check which is often automated.

Runtime: 01:37:49
Genres: Serial Killers, Based on a True Story, Old-Young, Investigative
Plot – Spoilers:
Very loosely based on the Monster of the Andes, Pedro Lopez.
Vinicio is a middle-aged Ecuadorian peddling the Bible and other religious works that allow him to be a traveling man across South America. His real thing though is the rape, torture and murder of children in astonishing numbers. A narcissistic reporter meanwhile is on his trail while Vinicio plays the neighborhood general nice guy and husband to a pregnant woman with a young boy and baby girl.
Cronicas eschews the horrors of its crimes, but doesn’t let up on the creepiness and exhilarating rush bubbling inside Vinicio as he walks among regular folk, knowing he carries a deep secret that he continually is able to hide and pursue with the barest of means through sheer ingenuity and a sharp cunning. And this is all mostly down to a masterful performance from Damian Alcazar in what is arguably one of the greatest onscreen depictions of a killer.
Good gripping thriller with a massive disappointing anti-climax ending. It was almost like watching a documentary saying it was going to reveal the identity of Jack the Ripper, and then the documentary finishing before the reveal is made.
On the plus side is the very lovely Marisa played by Leonor Watling, but if anyone had told me it was actually Charlotte Church playing Marisa I would have believed them. The resemblance in certain scenes is uncanny.
Leguizamo should’ve played the killer…wouldnt be too far a stretch for that little racist cunt.
What a grrrreat movie
A nice little film but its fucked in the mind rather than on screen. My biggest problem was reading the subtitles (I am a slow reader) so I had to keep stopping and rewinding just to follow the conversations. The end snippet is definitely the nastiest few seconds of mind-fucking possible.
@Admin. Any chance of some elucidation. Is this the future or just some welcome respite?
Best ecuadorian movie ever done! I like it more than “Ratas Ratones” that one is not fucked up but a good movie too.
its not The Pest (1997) but still not bad
Cry baby cry!!! Stick ya dick in baby’s eye!!!!
I’m the rhinestone cowboy
Riding out with a horse dick in a preteen-spunk rodeo
Hey all you faggots!!!! Steve got all you preteen fags good, cant stop dropping his name.

John Leguizamo and Rosie Perez were excellent together in a film called The Take.
King of the Jungle featured another outstanding performance from him also.
Hey all you fucking cowards. Steve really got you faggots good, didn’t he? He’s all you can think about night and day. It sounds like you hope he’ll get pedo on you. It’s obvious you little pussies are in elementary school. Do all the kids in elementary school give you high fives and slaps on the back when you talk about pedos and talk about fucking people’s mothers you little faggots? Grow up you immature gay cry babies. You’ve been spamming for days because Steve hurt you gay little feelings. Awwww. Ha ha you little faggots. Watch. These little faggots are going to have a major mental fit and spam like crazy now. You just wind these little pussies up and watch them go. There feelings are so hurt by Steve because he pinpointed exactly what they are – immature gay elementary school kid cry babies. Ha ha you fucking pussies. Cry for me you gay faggots.
Yo shane, ima deep throat ur cock, lets go!
Admin, while I’m kissing your ass, can you ring my mommy about the bullies? I like preteen faggots and these assholes won’t let me masturbate in peace. I only sucked the boy’s dick twice, I gave him a klondike. I mean, I only played with my little sister’s bald ferret because she was four. Little Davey showed me his hooded foreskin so I rubbed it until it spat at me.
my erection dribbles for preteen boys
Child rape,fuck bruh I’m into it like a pre-teen faggots asshole haha
The serial killer this is based on,Pedro Alonso Lopez “Monster of the Andes” raped & killed by his reckoning 300 children throughout the 70s & early 80s,in the end 110 of these were confirmed & oddly enough,after being sentenced to prison for the murders,Pedro served his sentence & was released a free man,the justice system & laws are very weird in some south American countries,you’d assume that some of these places being so lawless,chaotic & violent that their would be capital punishment & prison sentences for eternity,but its the opposite,although being in prison over there is a pure he’ll on earth,the sentences are shockingly mild,so at the time the maximum sentence for murder (I can’t recall which part,Brazil,Columbia where the trial & jurisdiction was) was only 16 years & thats for any amount of murders whether it be 1 or 150,16 years was the Max,i find that shit just mind blowing,so Pedro served his 16 years,was released,driven to the border & told to fuck off & not come back,he wanderd off & disappeared never to be seen again,no one knows what became of him & no noticeable pattern of murders started up again which led some to speculate that a gang of the victims loved ones caught up with him somewhere & meted out some vigilante justice & disposed of him,who knows,point was a serial killer of 110 or more kids was lawfully released from prison,anyway just some useless information for those who felt like reading all this shit,I found… Read more »
John Leguizamo is a great actor and this role is perfect for him, the ambiguous hot shot famous tv news journalist. He’s been in a ton of movies and was really memorable as Benny Blanco in “Carlito’s Way.” Leguizamo is great in “Cronicas” and it is a good film but it does drag a bit. There is a lot of action near the beginning but then it becomes a “talkie.” It’s a drama. As far as effed up, well maybe a little. Those wooden bridges gave me the willies. 3.5 stars.
