Description:
Following a bloody civil war, young Ofelia enters a world of unimaginable cruelty when she moves in with her new stepfather, a tyrannical military officer. Armed with only her imagination, Ofelia discovers a mysterious labyrinth and meets a faun who sets her on a path to saving herself and her ailing mother. But soon, the lines between fantasy and reality begin to blur, and before Ofelia can turn back, she finds herself at the center of a ferocious battle between good and evil.
Amazon.com:
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 López, With a Friend like Harry). Carmen is pregnant with his son. Other than her sickly mother and kindly housekeeper Mercedes (Maribel Verdú, Y Tu Mamá También), 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

Rating:  - Interesting
If you don't like reading don't get this movie. It was a good movie. Sad but good.
Rating: - A fairy tale for adults or children?
Visually stunning. However, this film suffers from an identity crisis. It is a fairy tale. A real Grimm's Brother's tale--not some Disneyfied feel good animated adventure. Like the Grimm's original tales, it is full of darkness, shadows and things that go bump in the night. But also, it is a film full of the wonder of being a child.
Unlike most fairy tales, it lacks a moral or lesson; and the film is so full of graphic violence and blood shed, no adult in their right mind would take ... Read More
Rating:  - del toro did it a+++++++++
anybody that gave pan's labyrinth a score of 3,2, especialy 1,Del Toro presents one dazzling visual spectacle after another, whether it be the Pale Man with his eyes set into his palms, the grisly surgery Vidal performs on himself, a dead tree that resembles at once a demonic horn and a womb, or a hacienda filled with gothic nooks and secrets. Francisco Goya, no stranger to images of violence and grotesquerie and the horrific, would approve.
Rating: - Pan's Labyrinth
I just got this movie from "Santa" on Christmas. My father (you may know him as Joseph A. Dial) told me that this was an incredibly good movie and that I had to watch it, since I'm taking Spanish class in my 7th grade classes and this movie is in Spanish. So we settled down to watch it last night, and this is how I felt about it.
Overall, it is a very well done movie. It is a darkly magical fairytale, but at the same time it deals with real-life things; war, death, pain, trust, obedience, and ... Read More
Rating: - Not a huge fan although...
The person who reccomended it to me is absolutely crazy about it. Guess its a matter of opinion. I thought some parts of it was awesome but the ending didnt live up to my expectations.
