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: 
- Very good movie!
A visual masterpiece that is both dark and magical. The story takes you in and doesn't release you until the very end. Subtitles are a problem for some people, but I did not even notice them after some time.
Rating: - A HAUNTINGLY, BEAUTIFUL LULLABY FOR ADULTS
Guillermo del Toro's PAN'S LABYRINTH is a sublimely imaginative, exquisitely refined dark fairy tale that weaves grim reality, and sumptuous dreamlands together with what seems like effortless ease. Ivana Baquero as Ofelia, a 12-year old caught up in Franco's war, is superb ( as is the rest of the cast ). This marvelous film may lack the humor of films like Caro and Jeunet's equally wonderful, THE CITY OF LOST CHILDREN, or Peter Jackson's epic THE LORD OF THE RINGS, but it is every bit as moving. ...

Rating: - Breathtaking!
It is 1944, and 12-year old Ofelia and her mother are going to a military outpost in the Spanish countryside to live with her new stepfather, a sadistic army captain. There, Ofelia discovers an old stone maze that leads to an underground world of fairies and adventures while above ground, the captain is closing in on a rag-tag band of insurgents.
This remarkable movie is alternately beautiful and grotesque, cruel and fantastic.Ofelia's fairyland is not a cute Disney version of make ... Read More
Rating: - Wonderful
Ofelia, our young protaganist is taken deep into the Spanish countryside by her mother and new stepfather, a sadistic colonel for Franco. In this harsh and worrying life, Ofelia wanders into the ruins behind her new home and finds Pan, a horned creature who informs her that she is a lost princess and has to complete three tasks in order to find her way home.
It sounds like a children's fantasy yet it isn't, there are many brutal and dark sequences in the movie which make it totally unsuitable ... Read More
