After Carlos, a 12-year-old whose father has died in the Spanish Civil War, arrive at an omnibus boy's orphanage he discovers the school is haunted and has many dark secrets that he must uncover.
The ghost in the film is the least horror generating aspect of it. It is a magnificent film even if it is melodramatic at times. Violence is used in abundance and del Toro has described it as the sibling to his more acclaimed masterpiece 'Pan's Labyrinth'.
Rating: 4/5
