Our 10 Favorite Monsters in Guillermo Del Toro's Films!

The Devil’s Backbone, 2001

Holy Santi, that’s one scary child-ghost! In the del-Toro directed gothic horror film The Devil’s Backbone, the child protagonist has visions of a mysterious apparition he can't identify, and hears strange stories about a child named Santi who went missing the day a bomb exploded near a local orphanage. Set during the final year of the Spanish Civil War, has been described as “a gut-wrenching portrait of childhood in a time of war and a skin-crawling, evocative nightmare.”
