spanish horror movie orphanage
Help with a spanish horror movie?
It had something to do with a young boy who gets dropped off at an orphanage owned by a kind old man and his wife [the wife is a redhead]. The boy gets bullied at first but then makes some friends. There’s a missile in the middle of the orphanage that was dropped off some time ago but never blew up. And there’s this ghost of a young boy who was drowned by a worker. I loved the movie but I missed the title :S 10 points to the best answer
Sounds like Guillermo Del Toro. My best guess would suggest that the film is ‘The Devil’s Backbone’. In fact I’m almost certain that’s it.
If not then I would also suggest ‘The Orphanage’/'El Orfanato’.
And if I was right about the Devil’s Backbone then I would recommend you watch The Orphanage and Pan’s Labyrinth.
