DVD Review: A MAGICAL AND HAUNTING FAIRY TALE FOR ADULTS! Summary: 5 StarsMost of you who read my reviews know I don't watch many films that are subtitled. I know, I know, I'm lazy, but it's really not that I'm lazy, it's that I find it a bit distracting. Fortunately this film is well worth reading subtitles for. For those of you not aware of this
*** THIS FILM IS IN SPANISH WITH ENGLISH SUBTITLES!***
OK, now that that's been stated for the few that may not be aware of that fact. This is a very well made film and beautifully told story. It has a nightmarish quality that will stick with you long after watching it. The film is nothing like I thought It would be and that is one of the reasons I put off watching this for so long. It's really a fantastic film and should not be missed by movie lovers.
The film is definitely not for children as it has some graphic violence and it can be scary at times.
DVD Review: Stunning and Beautiful Summary: 5 StarsWords can not describe how amazing this movie was. The blood and gore everyone complains about was in essence needed, for the film follows a war also. I will not give away the ending but it is amazing, and very reflective to the work of shakespeare. Well done,Guillermo del Toro. Bravo. Amazing film, awesome cinematography and scenery. Ivana Baquero was an amazing child actor. Great film, watch it an enjoy.
DVD Review: Earthy, ethereal, revelatory, engrossing, cathartic, amazing Summary: 5 StarsLike a personal or spiritual revelation, this movie is defies categorization or description. Only seeing is believing. For me it was wonderful, harrowing, magical, awe-inspiring and rife with shadows. Visually grand eloquent. A history lesson wrapped in a fairy-tale dowsed with ancient grittiness and modern decay. Thank you Guillermo Del Toro for magical realism at its finest.

Inspired by the Brothers Grimm, Jorge Luis Borges, and Guillermo del Toro's own unlimited imagination, Pan's Labyrinth is a fairytale for adults. Ofelia (Ivana Baquero) may only be 12, but the worlds she inhabits, both above and below ground, are dark as anything del Toro has conjured. Set in rural Spain, circa 1944, Ofelia and her widowed mother, Carmen (Ariadna Gil, Belle Epoque), have just moved into an abandoned mill with Carmen's new husband, Captain Vidal (Sergi L?pez, With a Friend like Harry). Carmen is pregnant with his son. Other than her sickly mother and kindly housekeeper Mercedes (Maribel Verd?, Y Tu Mam? Tambi?n), the dreamy Ofelia is on her own. Vidal, an exceedingly cruel man, couldn't be bothered. He has informers to torture. Ofelia soon finds that an entire universe exists below the mill. Her guide is the persuasive Faun (Doug Jones, Mimic). As her mother grows weaker, Ofelia spends more and more time in the satyr's labyrinth. He offers to help her out of her predicament if she'll complete three treacherous tasks. Ofelia is willing to try, but does this alternate reality really exist or is it all in her head? Del Toro leaves that up to the viewer to decide in a beautiful, yet brutal twin to The Devil's Backbone, which was also haunted by the ghost of Franco. Though it lacks the humor of Hellboy, Pan's Labyrinth represents Guillermo Del Toro at the top of his considerable game. --Kathleen C. Fennessy
