“What is a ghost? A tragedy condemned to disclose itself time and again? An instant of afflict perhaps. Somthing unimaginative which smooth seems to be alive. An emotion suspended in time. Like a blurred photograph. Like an insect taped in amber”.
It is this rumination which opens THE DEVIL’S BACKBONE, a ghost memoir state during the Spanish Civil War directed by Guillermero Del Toro (Mimic, Blade 2) and presented by Pedro Almodovar.

Carlitos is an orphaned 12 year conventional who is sent to a boarding school that shelters orphans during the last days of the war.
One unwelcome occupant is the ghost of a murdered boy, called “The One Who Sighs” by the other pupils. Carlitos is unlucky enough to arrive face to face with the hideously disfigured apparition one night where as a dare, the other boys send him downstairs to bag some water; but for some reason he ends up in the slug infested basement; where “The One Who Sighs” dwells in a pool conveniently located there.
The movie gets its title from the name given to the deformed spine of humdrum foetuses, which is preserved in alcohol by an ecentric teacher. The alcohol is then sold in town and touted as a “cure all” remedy…BR>THE DEVIL’S BACKBONE is a scare thriller that takes its time getting started, but once it does it makes Hollywood’s regular nick of horrors glance anemic. Scary, stylish and twisty (in addition to zigzag) THE DEVIL’S BACKBONE doesn’t undermine the viewer’s intelligence either. This is a must spy for apprehension fans and film buffs.
Extra features on the DVD include a doco about the making of the movie, trailers, storyboard comparisons and commentaries by Del Toro and the cinematographer.

If you have seen the trailers for The Devil’s Backbone, and you were intrigued enough to survey the movie, you won’t be disappointed. The trailer only scratches the surface of the film’s context and message, which is recent in that it doesn’t give away the film’s most principal moments (like many of today’s movie trailers out of mainstream Hollywood.)

The many themes presented in the movie (war, worship, loss, greed, death and revenge) are visited upon us in very subtle ways. It is hard to relate how the filmmakers have done it, without giving away the plot’s clincher. The chronicle unfolds slowly at first, drawing a very somber record of life during the Spanish Civil War in a remote orphanage.
On a technical level, the special effects befriend to heighten the emotional and psychological tension as the anecdote progresses. This is a ghost sage in more than one way: not only that of a child who appears from the beyond, but also of the metaphorical ghost of war that hangs over not only the orphans, but of all those who are struggling to survive through it. There is a stout sense of despair and deprivation that is felt throughout all the characters’ actions and emotions. This is not a particularly violent war film physically, but more one psychologically that IMPACTS you very deeply after you have had time to deem it through.
Marisa Paredes’ performance is far and away one of the most compelling this year. It would be nice to explore her pick up some recognition state-side for her contributions to the cinema. Overall, the entire cast is safe and the production as well as the screenplay are top-notch.
