Entertainment Reviews:
It's a horror flick, and a creepily good one, that also functions as an allegory of the war that still haunts Spain seven decades later.

Wall Street Journal
Rating: 7/10 --
Although spooky, The Devil's Backbone becomes weighed down by perhaps one too many subplots.

Under the Radar
A microcosm, that is like a small war, combining living and dead, resentments, betrayals and revenge in an exceptional way with an impeccable cast. [Full review in Spanish]

Rating: 3/4 --
Guillermo Del Toro's The Devil's Backbone is a really cool ghost story with an extraordinary human and political dimension.

New York Daily News
Though it fails in its final reels to capitalize on its early promise, pic is still stylish, accomplished and tremendously enjoyable fare.

Variety
The Devil's Backbone augments its abundant creepiness with an equally powerful poignancy.

AV Club
What Del Toro provides with The Devil's Backbone is the recognition that evil exists within the most routine of circumstances. That knowledge is as old as humanity's belief in the fantastic, and just as powerful.

Product Description
The classic Masterpiece Theatre drama
Recollections of a hero's life
Worshipped as a national savior, Vice-Admiral Horatio Nelson masterminded the naval victories that thwarted Napoleon's plans to invade Britain. Yet, in the midst of public adulation, rumors swirled about his private life. Nelson took a friend's wife as a mistress and even fathered a child by her in secret.
Starring Kenneth Colley (Monty Python's Life of Brian), Geraldine James (The Jewel in the Crown), and Tim Pigott-Smith (V for Vendetta), this lavish historical drama examines Nelson through the eyes of four people close to him: his wife, who feels bitter and betrayed but ultimately loving; his friend, who helplessly loses his wife to a hero; his captain, who admires Nelson's bold leadership but disdains his lifestyle; and an ordinary seaman, who turns to his commander for inspiration while facing death. What emerges is an unconventional portrait of a complex figure and a study in the effects of fame.
DVD bonus features include photo gallery and cast filmographies.
