The Devil's Backbone

The Devil's Backbone

Directed by Guillermo del Toro

An isolated Spanish orphanage is haunted by the ghost of a former student during the last days of the Spanish Civil War. 12-year-old Carlos is the latest arrival to Santa Lucia School, which shelters orphans of the Republican militia and politicians. As the curious Carlos starts to uncover the dark ties that bind the inhabitants of the school, he begins having very scary encounters with a dead student’s restless ghost. Guillermo del Toro’s superb supernatural thriller has lost none of its power – or relevance – in the 15-plus years since it was first released.

In Guillermo del Toro's celebrated ghost story, an isolated Spanish orphanage is haunted by a former student.

Cast: Marisa Paredes, Eduardo Noriega, Federico Luppi, Fernando Tielve

Only reason I subscribed to Shudder was to watch this movie, and I can't get it stream. I'm unable to even find it on the App. ??

I can’t seem to play this movie through the Shudder App. The movie doesn’t even come up on the App when I put in the name. I don’t know why I can find it easily here but not on an app where I could actually play it.
