The Devil's Backbone

A truly terrifying spine-tingler combining state of the art special effects with towering performances, The Devil's Backbone tells the tale of a remote Spanish orphanage during the final days of The Spanish Civil War whose young inhabitants are brutally terrorised by Santi, a decomposing spirit who stalks the building's dark decaying hallways.
