Critic Reviews of "The Devil's Backbone"
New York Daily NewsOctober 14, 2014Guillermo Del Toro's The Devil's Backbone is a really cool ghost story with an extraordinary human and political dimension.
New YorkerOctober 07, 2013Del Toro's elegant pacing and gothic touches imbue the proceedings with a cool mystery.
Wall Street JournalOctober 07, 2013It's a horror flick, and a creepily good one, that also functions as an allegory of the war that still haunts Spain seven decades later.
AV ClubOctober 07, 2013The Devil's Backbone augments its abundant creepiness with an equally powerful poignancy.
VarietyOctober 18, 2008Though it fails in its final reels to capitalize on its early promise, pic is still stylish, accomplished and tremendously enjoyable fare.
ExcelsiorOctober 31, 2016A microcosm, that is like a small war, combining living and dead, resentments, betrayals and revenge in an exceptional way with an impeccable cast. [Full review in Spanish]
Under the RadarSeptember 08, 2014Although spooky, The Devil's Backbone becomes weighed down by perhaps one too many subplots.
Metro Times (Detroit, MI)October 07, 2013What Del Toro provides with The Devil's Backbone is the recognition that evil exists within the most routine of circumstances. That knowledge is as old as humanity's belief in the fantastic, and just as powerful.
Baltimore SunOctober 07, 2013You may find that images from this movie clamber back into your memory weeks after you see it, and give your spine a chill.
Radio TimesOctober 07, 2013Though the whodunnit takes a fairly predictable course, the Spanish Civil War background adds powerful narrative and symbolic weight, while the striking imagery is simply poetic.
Christian Science MonitorOctober 07, 2013This moody ghost story follows generally familiar lines despite its unusual historical setting, but it's imaginatively filmed and builds a sense of brooding emotional power.
