1944, Spain, Ofelia accompanied her mother to meet up with her father, who happens to be a Captain in The Spanish Army, there Ofelia escapes into a nightmarish world, and must complete three horrifying challenges.
It took me one or two viewings to fully get it, and to appreciate it, but I'm glad I did, Pan's Labyrinth is an incredible movie, it's one that will appeal to horror fans, and those that enjoy surreal stories and fantasies.
Plenty of messaging to loon out for, you have to wait to learn exactly what's going on, it's worth waiting for.
Beautifully acted and stunningly produced, it's a glorious looking film, I think it's aged incredibly well.
Personally my favourite scene is the dinner table, Ofelia chomps down a few grapes, whilst a terrifying being wakes up, what a scene.
Only from the mind of Guillermo del Toro is this possible.
9/10.
