facts, which I am not privy to!
I have immense respect for del Toro though I think he needs to trust to the imagination of his viewers more. I can't think of a good reason to have so much on-screen violence and FX. It detracts and adds sensationalism: and it's SOOOOOO post-2000. If I want over-the-top violence I'll see Wolf Creek or some other blood-dripping dreck. The skill of a director such as he should be able to accomplish all w/out resorting to such overkill.
I'll see "The Devil's Backbone," again. I liked it but nowhere near as much as PL.
