THE DEVIL'S BACKBONE (3.5 STARS)

Directed by Guillermo Del Toro. Pedro Almodovar and his brother produced it. Guillermo Del Toro also directed Pans Labyrinth , Mimic, and Hellboy. Pedro Almodovar directed Talk to Her, Volver, All About my Mother, and Bad Education.

Like Pans Labyrinth, The Devil's Backbone is about children living during the war. It's also about orphaned children dealing with a bad adult person.

This film is made by a guy who knows what he's doing. However, there's something i didn't like about it. There's something a little to predictable, and not scary enough.

Del Toro is set to direct The Hobbit, The hobbit 2, and out this summer is Hellboy 2.
