Quote: harleykwin said: El Espinazo del Diablo - which was translated here as The Devil's Backbone - saw this over the weekend, and it is a poetic ghost story set during the Spanish Civil War. I tend to think that as foreign horror movies go, we focus a lot on the Japanese horror films - especially their subpar Americanized remakes (The Grudge comes to mind) and forget so many others. Backbone should not be missed. Yes, its subtitled, but don't let that deter you - it was totally worth it - del Toro is a genius. For those who love straight up slasher/bloody movies, this is prolly too tame for you, but I found this beautiful and haunting - as the tag line says - "The living will always be more dangerous than the dead" and del Toro shows us why brilliantly. I totally recommend it.
An absolutely gorgeous film.
I know! Don't get me wrong, I like the typical horror movie as much as the next chick (and, yes, I have been known to scream or jump at the scary parts), but this one was pure poetry.

I hadn't even heard about this! When does it come out?
Dear, sweet Harley Kwink...I'm madly in love with you. Marry me! We can go to Canadia. Or Boston or something. It'll be grand...You know the cookies are a given. They are ALWAYS a given. You could dump me tomorrow and you'd still get the cookies. Boston..shit, wherever dyke weddings were legalized. And where better to rub their little piggie noses in how bad they suck than right on their doorstep? What are they gonna do? Be jealous of you? Stare furiously at your tah-tahs? Not willingly give you cookies, but instead begrudgingly give you their cookies? Woman, time to wake up to the powers you wield - Uschi
