Viewing Notes
There’s not a Guillermo del Toro film I’ve seen I haven’t liked. I need to see Chronos still, but I’ve somehow missed Devil’s Backbone until now.
It’s a stunning ghost story and works on a lot of levels. Great cast of kids, a totall freaky ghost, awesome plot and all around a fantastic film.
