THE DEVIL’S BACKBONE
The film
After Carlos - a 12-year-old whose father has died in the Spanish Civil War - arrives at an ominous boys’ orphanage, he discovers the school is haunted and has many dark secrets which he must uncover.
This is another one that doesn’t feel like full on horror, but like horror/drama. A well made Spanish language period piece. I actually think the historical aspect is the most interesting. Rented on Prime.
