World Cinema’s Halloween offering is Guillermo del Toro’s brilliant—and brilliantly creepy—The Devil’s Backbone (2001), which is something of a companion piece to his Pan’s Labyrinth (2006). Since it hasn’t been that long ago that I reviewed this film, I’ll simply direct you to that review: http://avl.mx/0s.
