El Espinazo Del Diablo
(The Devil's Backbone)
Written and Directed by Guillermo Del Toro
2001
Like M. Knight Shymalan Del Toro has the ability to capture the light of humanity in well crafted horror. This movie is darker than Shymalan. Like the more recent 'Faun's Labryinth' the period is the Spainish civil war, one of the most interesting chapters of the 20th century.
