Pan's Labyrinth is one of those movies that stays with you long after it ends. It is a nice blend of a harsh reality with dark fantasy through the eyes of the child. The visuals are stunning- beautiful and eerie- and the story is emotionally powerful, full of symbolism and heartache.
Guillermo del Toro creates a world where fairy tales aren't safe escapes but more of reflections of real-world horrors. It is haunting, moving and absolutely unforgivable.
