El espinazo del diablo [The Devil's Backbone](2001)
As you may have already guessed, this is a Spanish film, and is in Spanish with other languages subtitled. There are a few writer/directors I follow- Guillermo del Toro is one of them. One of the best ghost stories I have ever seen, this movie works at all levels. Not terrifying, and with no gore, it still manages to be creepy as can be. Not only does the story make sense, its easy to follow without a lot of twists and sub plots and all that. Plus it has the best ghost manifestation I've seen on film to date. Being subbed, you do have to pay attention, but every detail isn't necessary to follow the story. While not designed to be scary, its a wonderfully spooky experience.
