You guys, October is halfway over already. That sucks. But, alternatively, only 16 more days until Halloween!This is one of my favorite ghost stories. It's a Spanish film produced by Guillermo Del Toro and if you get the chance, you should absolutely check it out.
Laura (Belén Rueda) is very excited to bring her husband (Fernando Cayo) and son (Roger Princep) to the orphanage she grew up in. She plans to revitalize the old place and turn it into a home for special needs children. But on the day of the grand opening, her son goes missing. Laura is desperate to find him, so desperate that she is willing to turn to anything that will help, including the supernatural.
I love this movie. It's surprisingly poignant with a total gut punch of a third act. In that way, it does remind me of Pan's Labyrinth but the supernatural elements are much more understated. It's currently streaming on Hulu.
