It is technically a continuation of The Devil's Backbone because it takes place in 1944 in Facist Spain, whereas DB takes place during the Spainish Civil War.

Hands down, this movie was amazing.
I saw it saturday night (Framingham 16 is showing it) and I was blown away. The story was great, the scenes of action with the girl and the war was great. The violence was def more then a lot of the people watching expected, judging by some crowd reactions.
I liked the ending, but at the same time, you are left with the nagging question of: was it real or in her mind? Del Toro does what I think is a great job of leaving it up to the viewer because if you really think of it, you could argue for either one and they'd both make sense without changing the end of the movie or the story.

The effects and creatures were so damn good. I had heard that the eyeless creature was going to be a threat to the princess, but I thought, like everyone else, it was going to be maybe a tempter or sly creature.
WRONG! That thing was creepy to a degree that it felt like a nightmare you'd have as a child and was so much better then I expected.
It's an adult fairy tale that really seems to look at the innocence of children in a world that seems to do it's best to destroy that.
These days, I think it's a VERY smart and relavent movie.

See this movie or you suck at life.
