Arguably the scariest of Guillermo del Toro’s films to-date, this chilling ghost story takes place in a remote orphanage during the Spanish Civil War. When young Carlos is dumped there following the death of his father, he soon discovers the orphange is haunted. Del Toro would revisit this period of history again for his internationally acclaimed Pan’s Labyrinth, but here the fantastical makes way for the phantasmagorical and the results are truly frightening.
