It's okay, but one thing really bothers me.
27 November 2021
The Devil's Backbone is a good drama-horror film about a kid that sent to orphanage and he saw a ghost. It's overall good drama, not so much about the mystery. There's one thing that really bothers me. It doesn't have to be a horror film. The plot would've worked just fine without any horror aspect whatsoever. In fact all the progression, the twist and turn will makes perfect sense either way. Maybe they made it on purpose for the sake of making a 'horror-genre' film. I know that Guilermo also made this mistake again in Crimson Peak (2014). I guess it's just his style...?

Anyway, good drama, okay mystery, none-sense horror.
