As General Franco's fascists close in on victory during the final days of the Spanish Civil War, 12-year-old Carlos arrives at a remote orphanage for children of left-wing families. Soon after arriving, Carlos discovers the orphanage is haunted by Santi, a dead boy who stalks the building's dark hallways and seeks revenge for his tragic death.

THE DEVIL'S BACKBONE is a stylish and unpredictable supernatural chiller from director Guillermo del Toro (Hellboy, Blade 2) which deftly mixes horror, suspense and dark humor. Twelve-year-old Carlos is the latest arrival to Santa Lucia School, an imposing stone building that shelters the orphans of the Republican militia and politicians during the last days of the Spanish Civil War. Carlos gradually uncovers the dark ties that bind the inhabitants of the school: hidden riches, sexual intrigue and the restless ghost of a murdered student.

  • Wahrheitsgetreu !!!

    Der Inhalt dieser Geschichte widerspiegelt Leben und Tod. Mit dem Daiffel hat das gar nichts zu tun. Es sind wahre Gegebenheiten die einem frisch Verstorbenen wiederfahren können bevor die Seele seine Ruhe findet.
    Vielleicht sogar bigott ein wenig spöttisch gesagt: Ungetaufte Kinder enden im Nimbus!?

  • gruselfilm?

    Irgendwie zu simpel dieses dramatische Werk als Gruselfilm zu bezeichnen. Ohne Zweifel beeinhaltet er Übernatürliches und gruseliges, doch in erster Linie ist es ein tiefgründiges Drama, indem Torro gekonnt Asoziationen zwischen Faschismus und der Haupthandlung zieht. Er ist nicht dermassen genial wie El Labyrinto del fauna, aber durchaus ein ausgezeichnetes Werk. Er wird auch oft als Bruderfilm von Fauna bezeichnet, da er extrem viele Paralellen aufweist. Ich würde also jedem empfehlen beide Werke zu schauen, sie sind es definitiv wert!

    Mehr als nur ein guter Gruselfilm, sondern geschichtlich auch interessant. Una pelucola
    por ver muchas veces con pensamientos muy
    profundos.
