- "One of the most personal film by Guillermo del Toro ... is also among his most frightening and emotionally layered.

Del Toro expertly combines gothic ghost story, murder mystery, and historical melodrama in a stylish melange that, like his later Pan's Labyrinth, reminds us the scariest monsters are often the human ones"--Container.
