I bought this Mexican horror film in the US, and damn it...it's in Spanish! Of all things! Anyway, it lists english as subtitles available, but they won't display on the screen. I have tried two different DVD players. When tried on my 'puter, it indicated that it was not the proper region format. Anyone else ever run into a DVD bought in the US, with English listed as subtitles, and all printing on the case as english, and noted region 1 on the case that won't work.

I liked it quite a bit also. I thought it was a very moving film, very sad. I know several people that didn't like it because it wasn't "scary" enough, but I don't think that was the point of the movie.

I thought it had some pretty okay creepy moments, with the keyhole scene as the highlight. Loved it, even though i knew it was comming.

But you´re right, Jenna. It´s a good story.

I'd have to say it's Guillermo del Toro's best movie, with Blade II coming in a second.

I agree that it is his best. I also love Blade II (I liked it better than the first one myself) and enjoyed Hellboy quite a bit.

I also agree, Blade II was much better than the Original. One of the few cases of a sequal being better that the original
