The Devil's Backbone

Simple movie

I just wanted to watch a horror movie and feel the simplicity of ghosts and monsters, but it took almost two hours to see what shit humanity is.

To be honest, living on this devilish continent, what kind of evil in it has long since become commonplace? Killing orphans for money? Sleeping with foster mother? Blew up the orphanage where he grew up? I have seen it countless times in real news reports, and there are more magical than this. What is this? It's numb for a long...

I'm not afraid of you

After watching this movie, towards the end, the dead old man went to open the door for the helpless children, and at the end he stood in the shadows watching the children go away. I suddenly wanted to cry.
Yes, he did what he said. He stayed in this place forever all his life. With the woman he loves deeply.
The movie is not terrifying all the way. More are the ingredients of sadness. Even when the guilty man sank to the bottom of the water, the dead child hugged him and prevented him...

"Ghost Children's Courtyard": a black fairy tale with light

On the rainy night when Little Sandy was killed by Jacinto, a bomb fell from the sky, and it stuck in the yard without exploding.

This is the source of the whole story of "Ghost Children's Courtyard", with a trace of bizarreness, a trace of mystery, or-very "Gilmo del Toro". As a Mexican native of Spanish, Gilmo del Toro was deeply influenced by Latin American magical realism literature and Spanish art (especially Goya's black oil paintings). Under the intertwining of the two, his...

"Ghost Children's Courtyard": What is a ghost?

Spanish horror films are always deep, connotative, and delicate. This is true of "Lonely Castle" and "Julia's Eyes", and so is "Ghost House". In fact, this film was produced before the first two films, and it was even a tribute to "Lonely Castle". Adding the dual elements of history and humanity to a horror film is the first time I appreciate it. The Spanish Civil War, the fascists, the killing of orphans, and the unruly romances, vowed to defend the city to the death. The orphans raised up for...

After watching this film, I reminded myself that it’s important to learn history

Like "Variant DNA", the whole story almost took place in one scene. The Spanish architecture and environment reminded me of the feeling of the beautiful legend of Sicily. The little boys are wearing white camisoles and look very similar to the way they run.
The degree of horror in this film is very weak, and even I, who have a very low point of shock, are hardly scared (although I deliberately choose to watch it during the day). So the horror in this film is not the first type, but...

This is a pseudo-child-oriented philosophical film. From the beginning to the end, the question "What is a ghost?" is always echoed. At the end, I personally understand the film: "Ghosts do exist, and their functions depend on people's beliefs"; the story does not Cheesy, but a bit bitter 3.5...

The art in the gyro works is always impeccable, and all the details can see the creator's intentions, and at the same time create a strong sense of nostalgia. The theme is similar to that of Pan Shen, which is a rebuke to the Spanish Civil War. , and added cruelty from the perspective of children. At the end, the greedy human beings are punished accordingly, which is also a very dark fairy tale routine. The huge cannonball in the yard is very...

Three and a half. As a director with makeup background, Guillermo del Toro has his own uniqueness in image creation. The story of the film is not brilliant, but the atmosphere is well rendered, between classic thriller and cult...

7.7 Its depiction of the chronological background has a strong internal connection with the depiction of the main events, and the emotions conveyed by the inner and outer layers are also very clear, that is, the inescapable pain caused by the war is like being trapped in amber, Although it is in the past, it still haunts you like a...

In the early works written and directed by Guillermo del Toro, the screenwriting talent is not outstanding, but the director's style is already very obvious. The low-light pictures, the thrilling and thrilling designs that are intended to pierce the heart, explore human beings in a terrifying shape. , these are his signature moves. There is always a world of people and demons intertwined in his brain, and sometimes it is even difficult to distinguish what is true and what is false, which is the...
