A ghost story set in a remote orphanage during the Spanish civil war. Guillermo Del Toro delivers us another tale of fear and woe and the children who endure and survive among the horrors. Though I found the cinematography lacking the depth and beauty of "Pan's Labyrinth", Del Toro nevertheless gives us an equally powerful story with a moral being that, among all the things that go bump in the night, in the end the things we should fear are the shadows within ourselves. I definitely recommend this film.
