PHASE9 movie review

Synopsis

"What is a ghost? An emotion, a terrible moment condemned to repeat itself over and over? An instant of pain perhaps? Something dead which appears at times alive. A sentiment suspended in time... like a blurry photograph... like an insect trapped in amber."

Supernatural melodrama, strange and unpredictable ghost story, THE DEVIL'S BACKBONE is also a bloody fable of initiation in the form of a gothic story, and the story of how a few moments of pain can remain suspended in time.

From acclaimed director Guillermo Del Toro (KRONOS, MIMIC, BLADE 2) this superior thriller combines rich filmmaking with highly emotive performances.
