The CinePearl Take
The Devil's Backbone is a 2001 Spanish film that blends horror, fantasy and drama — expect scares and a tense atmosphere and magic, myth and invented worlds. Guillermo del Toro directs and the script comes from Guillermo del Toro and David Muñoz. Eduardo Noriega and Marisa Paredes are among the leads. Made in Spain, it is a natural pick for anyone exploring Spanish-language films. Released in 2001, it has had time to build an audience and word of mouth. At 106 minutes, it is a comfortable evening's watch.
