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:  - Way overated!!!
After hearing all the hype surrounding this movie, I decided to rent it.
Bad idea, I'm used to high quality foreign films, Hero, Curse of the Golden Flower, Crouching Tiger, etc.....
So I was excited to see a foreign film that wasn't martial arts based.
The story is just blah, the special effects don't really show up till the last five seconds of the movie.
The acting is just so - so.
The gore that everyone else is complaining about is pretty bad.
The scene where ... Read More
Rating:  - Pan's Labyrinth...a cinematic gem
A movie of exceptional quality!
I'm a great fantasy fan and after seeing the trailers I decided to go see this movie, not really expecting anything special; to say I was stunned by the unique story, the acting and the cinematography would be a gross understatement.
The story take place in a rural, mountainous area of Spain during the Spanish Civil war in the 1930's or 40's. Part of the tale is about the civil war but there is another more 'magical' conflict going on at the ... Read More
Rating: - Pan's Labyrinth
A thoughtful and most enjoyable movie. At first, I was turned off by the need for English subtitles, but the pace and message held my attention. The sound and video quality in Blu-ray enhance its message.
Rating: - Beautiful!
A masterpiece! This movie is amazing!
"Pan's Labyrinth" is one of the best movies I've ever seen!
The 600 plus other reviews here will tell you the same!
The story is thrilling, exciting and enchanting!
Do not pass this movie up because it is in Spanish, you'll regret it!
Wonderful movie!
Rating:  - Cinematagraphy nice
Beautiful in high def, the movie was pretty cool; however, just not as imaginary as I would have thought. This review probably is a little harsher due to not meeting expectations. It was a good movie and was more to the point of the one girl's struggle in her situation rather than the 'fiction' and fantasy of her escape. The escape sequences (her imagination) were a little hoaky.
