Director: Guillermo del Toro
A Gothic horror tale in the most orthodox sense, The Devil’s Backbone (El espinazo del diablo) is set in 1939, the final year of the Spanish Civil War. Written by del Toro, Antonio Trashorras and David Muñoz, it was independently produced by Pedro Almodóvar, and filmed in Madrid.

Del Toro considers this to be his most personal work.
