by Guillermo del Toro, delivers!
A woman, who many years ago was placed in an orphanage, returns with her husband after purchasing the old property and, when she begins to restore it to its former usage, strange things begin occurring to her son.
This movie terrifies you w/out a drop of gore, torture, or mayhem. It is, to any parent, the most scary film possible, in several respects.
You will not guess the shocking ending no matter how hard you try.
Be prepared, deeply, to be disturbed.
Yes, there are plot mechanisms which are unwieldy, clumsy even, and perhaps some rather obvious non sequiturs... but they don't matter once you get sucked into the thoroughly engrossing suspense.
If you enjoyed "Devil's Backbone" or "Pan's Labyrinth," two of del Toro's earlier films, you'll love this one.
"Sixth Sense" and "The Others" now have a third to complete a trilogy of modern suspense excellence.
