Wow. Director Guillermo del Toro has made the film he will be remembered for. Pan's Labyrinth is something you will never forget; it is a movie that will stand the test of time. Like all great fairy tales, it will inspire as much as it will frighten. Pan's Labyrinth does just that. At times, the imagery onscreen is breathtaking. A magical world filled with wonder and color and curious creatures, all for the young girl, Ofelia, to enjoy. But it does have its scares. Not horror scares, but true scares. Captain Vidal (Sergi Lopez) is Ofelia's cruel stepfather, as well as evil incarnate. He kills without mercy, enjoying the slaughter for what it is. Death, at his hands. And then Pale Man, a skeletal creature with eyes in his palms and a hunger for the flesh of the young. Pan's Labyrinth is magical, and is a fairy tale that rivals even the darkest Grimm. Sure it is depressing, dark and violent, but no classic fairy tale is without those things. And despite the dour nature, Pan's celebrates life and innocence and good. It is a story for young and old alike, offering morals for everyone.Genre - Fantasy (4)
