Guillermo del Toro’s critically-acclaimed Spanish-language film The Devil’s Backbone celebrates its 25th anniversary this year. To mark the occasion, it was recently restored for a theatrical reissue – and now you can watch that restoration at home, by buying a new dual-format Collector’s Edition box set.

Set during the final days of the Spanish Civil War, the film centres on 12-year-old Carlos, who arrives at a remote orphanage for children of left-wing families, and soon discovers that the orphanage is haunted by Santi, a dead boy who stalks the building’s dark hallways, seeking revenge for his tragic death.

Del Toro has provided a new introduction for this edition. Other bonuses include three archival audio commentaries (all featuring the director), an interview with del Toro (19 minutes), 19 minutes of behind-the-scenes footage, videos showing the director’s notebooks, deleted scenes and more. It also comes with a 64-page booklet and two posters.
