Hovers between a stylised presentation and a unnecessary realism particularly with regards to the gratuitous violance. As a result it lacks any atmosphere. The leading lady has neither presence nor much physical appeal. OTH it is entertaining picking out the painful references to other movies and seeing if you can predict the next plot twist accurately. The costumes are beautiful. The villainess steals the entire movie.

The Devils Backbone #2 ? All the acting was up to scratch, but I felt as though he's already gone through these themes, particularly the the beginning and ending monologue voiceovers by the lead actress. I also think it shows it's hand too much with the ghosts, something subtler would have built up tension more. At least in the earlier parts. Other than this it was a finely crafted film. I also found the heroines decent from a witty, independend woman to emotionally fragile girl fascinating.

Classic Del Toro and classic gothic romance. Hits all the right spots if you are into this genre. The costumes and sets are gorgeous. Well acted from an experienced cast. There is some graphic violence, which I'm not kean on, but I thoroughly enjoyed this movie.
