Synopsis:
From acclaimed Mexican horror maestro Guillermo Del Toro (Cronos, Mimic and Blade 2) comes `The Devil`s Backbone`, a truly terrifying spine-tingler combining state of the art special effects with towering performances from a combination of Latin legends (Federico Luppi, `Cronos` and Marisa Paredes, `All About My Mother`) and rising stars (Eduardo Noriega, `Open Your Eyes`).
A deliciously dark horror, `The Devil`s Backbone` tells the tale of a remote Spanish orphanage during the final days of The Spanish Civil War whose young inhabitants are brutally terrorised by Santi, a decomposing spirit who stalks the building`s dark decaying hallways. But, as the film builds to a grisly, explosive finale, the children learn the true story of Santi`s death and rise up to vow a deadly vengeance on his vicious murderer.
Produced by Academy Award winner Pedro Almodovar (All About My Mother) and brilliantly shot for maximum suspense by leading cinematographer Guillermo Navarro (Jackie Brown), `The Devil`s Backbone` continues the resurgence in Latin cinema following the global impact of `Amores Perros`.
