In El espinazo del diablo, einem frühen von diesen eleganten, cleveren Gruselfilmen von Guillermo del Toro erscheint, als wäre das Leben in Waisenhaus während des spanischen Bürgerkriegs nicht schlimm genug, auch noch der Geist eines kleines Jungen. Das ist allerdings längst nicht das unheimlichste.

The Devil's Backbone (2001)

Director - Guillermo del Toro, Cinematography - Guillermo Navarro

"What is a ghost? A tragedy condemned to repeat itself time and again? An instant of pain, perhaps. Something dead which still seems to be alive. An emotion suspended in time. Like a blurred photograph. Like an insect trapped in amber."

Junge Leute aus aller Herren Länder irren auf der Suche nach irgendwas durch Londoner Musikkneipen und Bars, und erwachen in ungemachten Betten. Vera (links) sucht nach ihrer geheimnisvollen Zufallsbeziehung, deren Fortführung sie zu sehr dem Zufall überlassen hat, Axl sucht seinen Vater, und natürlich suchen auch alle wieder ein bisschen nach dem Sinn des Lebens, sofern sie sich an den letzten Abend erinnern können.

The Devil's Backbone (Guillermo del Toro, 2001)

Cast: Marisa Paredes, Eduardo Noriega, Federico Luppi, Fernando Tielve, Íñigo Garcés, Irene Visedo, José Manuel Lorenzo, Francisco Maestre, Junio Valverde, Berta Ojea, Adrián Lamana, Daniel Esparza, Javier Bódalo. Screenplay: Guillermo del Toro, Antonio Trashorras, David Muñoz. Cinematography: Guillermo Navarro. Production design: César Macarrón. Film editing: Luis de la Madrid. Music: Javier Navarrete. 

Guillermo del Toro's The Devil's Backbone is set in an isolated Spanish orphanage haunted by the ghost of a young boy who wants to get revenge on his murderer. The time is the end of the Spanish Civil War, which gives the film an underpinning of historical reality, and it adds some realism in the portrayal of the relationships that develop among the boys who have been sent there after the deaths of their parents in the conflict. It's as much high melodrama as horror movie, with a handsome villain, Jacinto (Eduardo Noriega), who murdered the boy Santi (Junio Valverde) to conceal his attempts to break into the safe where the operators of the orphanage, Carmen (Marisa Paredes) and Dr. Casares (Federico Luppi), are hiding gold that is meant to support the loyalist cause. Murder will out, largely with the help of young Carlos (Fernando Tielve), the latest arrival to the orphanage, who learns to communicate with the ghost of Santi. On this simple framework, del Toro layers a good deal of Gothic oddities, including some fetuses preserved in rum, an unexploded bomb in the orphanage courtyard, a murky cistern, and Carmen's artificial leg. Atmosphere is everything in a movie of this genre, and del Toro is a master at creating it, using the contrast of the sunny Spanish landscape and the shadowy interior of the orphanage to great effect. The film is not so unrelenting a creepshow as some of del Toro's other films, like Pan's Labyrinth (2006) and The Shape of Water (2017), which are more highly regarded but which I actually like less than The Devil's Backbone.
