The Devil’s Backbone
Guillermo del Toro
An orphanage is haunted by the spirit of a boy killed during the bombings of the Spanish Civil War. As the ghost makes contact with a new arrival, the dark truth behind the boy's demise becomes clear. The director of Cronos and Mimic brings both historical flavor and mythic resonance to this frightening story. "As subtly disturbing as The Haunting (1963) or The Innocents (1961), Guillermo del Toro's brooding ghost story is rich with psychological and political implications that never obscure its fundamental creepiness" (Maitland McDonagh, TV Guide/Cinebooks). The DVD is a 2-disc Special Edition, letterboxed and includes director and cinematographer commentary, 8 featurettes, deleted scenes with optional commentary, storyboard comparisons, text and photo galleries, excerpts from Guillermo Del Toro's notebook, and more.

Guillermo del Toro
Guillermo del Toro (Cronos, Blade II) transports the evil-fighting spawn of Satan from the comic book pages to the big screen in this high-energy spectacle.

Also stars Selma Blair, John Hurt, Rupert Evans, and Jeffrey Tambor. This two-DVD set includes a commentary by director Guillermo del Toro and co-executive producer Mike Mignola; a commentary by Ron Perlman, Selma Blair, Rupert Evans, and Jeffrey Tambor; eight branching DVD comics by Mike Mignola; 27 documentaries; a behind-the-scenes branching feature; four short cartoon films; feature-length storyboard track; computer-generated animated scene breakdowns; side-by-side comparison of scenes with the animated storyboards; 3 deleted scenes with optional commentary; DVD-ROM features; and more.

Pan's Labyrinth
Guillermo del Toro
The aftermath of the Spanish Civil War acts as a backdrop to Guillermo del Toro's horror-fantasy tale about an imaginative girl, Ofelia (Ivana Baquero), who travels with her sickly mother (Ariadna Gil) to live with her sadistic stepfather (Sergi Lopez) at his military outpost. There, she discovers a labyrinth in the surrounding forest and meets a fawn (Doug Jones), who leads her into a magical world of fairies, giant toads, and eyeless child-eating ghouls. Though Pan's Labyrinth transformed del Toro from a well-versed genre-film director (Cronos, Hellboy) into a full-fledged art-house sensation, it still carries his indelible mark: a child protagonist, subterranean worlds, clock imagery, horrific monsters, and an unabashed enthusiasm for the fantastic and mythology. Nominated for six Academy Awards, including Best Foreign Language Film, Original Screenplay (del Toro), Art Direction, Cinematography (Guillermo Navarro), Makeup, and Score (Javier Navarrete). 2-DVD Special Edition. Letterboxed. Closed-captioned. Includes director commentary, director's notebook, photo galleries, storyboards, and over two hours of featurettes. In Spanish with English subtitles. Mexico/Spain/USA, 2006, 119 mins.
