Hi, Thanks for any help.

I'm looking for a movie that's probably about 30 years old. A man finds a metal device that looks a bit like a bug. When he clamps it on his hand metal arms dig into his hand and it makes him young again. I think the device might have needed someone's blood to make it function. I saw it when I was a kid about 20 years ago. It might have even been 40 years old.

At some stage in the movie I think he lost the device and when he found it, there might have been an earthquake or something.

Sorry for the vague nature of my question, but it's been bugging me for years. I hope someone can help!

Thank you!

Cronos (1993)

From Wikipedia: In the year 1536, an alchemist in Veracruz developed a mechanism that could give eternal life. In 1937, an old building collapsed and the alchemist, who has marble-white skin, is killed when his heart is pierced by the debris. Investigators never revealed what else was discovered in the building: basins filled with blood from a corpse. In the present, an old antique dealer, Jesús Gris, notices that the base of an archangel statue is hollow. He opens it and finds a 450-year-old mechanical object. After winding the ornate, golden, scarab-shaped device, it suddenly unfurls spider-like legs that grip him tightly, and inserts a needle into his skin which injects him with an unidentified solution. A living insect — entombed within the device and meshed with the internal clockwork — produces the solution.
