DEL TORO
Director: Guillermo Del Toro. Starring: Eduardo Noriega, Marisa Paredes.
Spain, 2001. 106 mins.
As the Spanish Civil War draws to its close, ten-year-old Carlos (Fernando Tielve) is abandoned at a remote orphanage. Harassed by the boys there, Carlos starts to uncover the orphanage?s murky history and the shady connections between its staff. Favouring character-driven, emotional investment over cheap shocks, THE DEVIL?S BACKBONE is an unpredictable horror that builds towards a surprising and truly exciting conclusion.
