The Devil's Bone was fantastic! The slowly creeping, understated horror of it... A whole different genre though.

The Devil's BACKbone, not just The Devil's Bone, that's just gross.

And actually, it's not a different genre at all. del Toro does great commentaries on his movies (sadly none for The Shape of Water), and he talks very specifically about The Devil's Backbone being a Gothic Romance. He even references the same materials when talking about Crimson Peak.

Of course there's a whole checklist of what makes a Gothic Romance, but I think a line from Crimson Peak is one of the best descriptors, something like, "It's not a ghost story, it's a story with ghosts in it. The ghosts are metaphors for the past."
