The Devil's Backbone - 7.5/10

I really liked this film. Unsurprisingly, a lot young people who loved Pan's Labyrinth found this film "boring" and "not scary". Proof that expectations color perception. How some of these same people can enjoy the unremittingly boring Paranormal Activity movies boggles my mind. Apparently extended shots of empty rooms is more entertaining than a well-paced drama about loneliness and abandonment. And jump scares are cooler than existential horror, I guess.
