Across his decade-long career as a director, Guillermo del Toro has proven countless times why he’s one of the most original voices in modern genre cinema. The Mexican-born auteur and Academy Award-winning director has gone through genres like horror, sci-fi, and fantasy, but he’s also dug deep into the crevices of hard-to-tackle subgenres and their respective hybrids. While there’s no questioning his current status – especially after his outstanding 2025 adaptation of Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein – not many have taken their time to explore his origins in the industry. And there’s no better time than now to revisit his 2001 film The Devil’s Backbone, the critically acclaimed horror drama that famed critic Roger Ebert himself called “mournful and beautiful,” and which is currently streaming for free.
