Video of the Day: Guillermo del Toro

We end today with Halloween in mind; more specifically, the work of Mexican film director Guillermo del Toro. His horror films are difficult to describe except to say that they are very striking visually as well as psycholgcally.

Below is the trailer for one of del Toro's films- 2001's The Devil's Backbone (not The Devil's Advocate as had originally been written in this post).

You can get a flavor of del Toro's style from the trailer but I highly recommend that you watch the movie itslf.

  1. Erwin, the del Toro film is "The Devil's Backbone," not "The Devil's Advocate" which is a Taylor Hackford film with Al Pacino and Keanu Reeves.
