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: - 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

- 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.

- scaring brutal
I never need to see this movie again.It looks lovely, but it is beyond brutal and scaring. I'd rather watch Schindler's List again.All of love beauty and fantasy is ruined by the excessive violence.This is NOT a fantasy film it's a war movie with creepy dream sequences.
Try Ledgend, Labyrinth, or Mirror Mask for better fantasy with a similar look.

Forbidden fruit, eternal life, blood atonement, sacrifice:
the makings of a fairy tale, a war movie and a Christian parable, all to be found in Guillermo del Toro's Spanish language film -- elements that will certainly attract and repel viewers in equal numbers.
Lovers of fantasy may be lost when they learn of the graphic scenes of shootings, stabbings and battlefield surgery in Pan's ... Read More
Rating: - Magnificent
This film was very well done. Pan's Labyrinth reminds me of a fairy tale, some what like Alice in wonder land or some sort. But, what very ipressive and touching movie. All though it's more of a adult fairy tale it still makes you feel like a child onece agian as you envolve your self with Ofelia the main focus of the movie. I highly recomende it and any of Guillermo del Toro's creations because they arn't just movies they are "Creations" and "Masterpices".
