Update; Posters Added

PAN'S LABYRINTH is a fanciful and chilling story set against the backdrop of a fascist regime in 1944 rural Spain. The film centers on Ofelia, a lonely and dreamy child living with her mother and adoptive father; a military officer tasked with ridding the area of rebels. In her loneliness, Ofelia creates a world filled with fantastical creatures and secret destinies. With post-war repression at its height, Ofelia must come to terms with her world through a fable of her own creation.

some great reviews as you say, here's a snippet;

The story is captivating throughout and del Toro's pacing – not to mention his wonderful scene transitions – elevates the film to a lyrical plateau of beauty and horror. This is not a film for the faint of heart. This comes from the director of Blade 2 and Hellboy, remember. There are multiple scenes of extreme and brutal violence, and there is no shortage of gore.The film is full of similarly grotesque moments and is by no means meant for younger audiences.


If there is one failing to Pan's Labyrinth it is that the fantasy world and its creatures are so amazing that you don't want them to leave the screen. While the Civil War plot is compelling, it feels as if it claims nearly two-thirds of the film's runtime.

As the film finishes and the credits roll, you will feel as if you have woken from a fever-dream. Impressions, emotions, and memories may recede into the mists, but certain, vivid images will refuse to fade away. Ofelia, Pan, and their story burn into the brain.

This is an amazing work of cinema by any estimation, and is by far one of the most original and memorable films in recent memory.
