Summary: What A Movie!
Comment: Thank you for this movie.
This has got to be one of the darkest, most brutal, yet strangely sweet story lines I have ever encountered. With fantastic creatures from the realm of make-believe, combined with the harsh realism of a war torn land, a struggle arises between the two that finds a very fitting niche on the silver screen.

Summary: Fan's review
Comment: During the years of Fascist oppression in Spain, young Ofelia (Ivana Baquero) moves to a creepy mill in the countryside with her pregnant mother (Ariadna Gil) and violent stepfather (Sergi Lopez), who is a military officer hunting rebels in the surrounding mountains. Ofelia discovers that she has a powerful connection to a grotesque, wonder-filled world of magic and fantasy and undergoes great drama as events come to a head in both the realms of magic and reality.
Director / writer Guillermo del Toro has established himself as one of the premier fantasists of cinema. His distinctive visual sense is used to great advantage here. This fairy tale is not so much for children as for adults who may have forgotten the horror at the root of all fairy tales in this Disneyfied era, as well as their mythic connections to real world events. Del Toro remembers and incorporates this understanding in his powerful film.

Summary: a fairy tale truly touching the senses love and fear
Comment: A fantastic fairy tale Grimm-like (for adults, be great if they could make one rated for children) with superb cinematography, hauntingly wonderful yet sad music and brilliant set design and creatures. A sincere and brave young girl Ofelia, follows a fairy into a labyrinth (like Alice chasing a rabbit and fallen into a hole) and finds she have to follow 3 tasks to return as a princess who once left her true home (I had a dream as a child about being in another realm wanting to see the surface world which is why I can relate to her character) a long time ago to see the surface world. They are not easy tasks a child can perform and even an adult might have a hard time of it. The movie made me wishing and made me cry and the story itself is solid with very good acting from all the performers. Doug Jones {silver surfer} portrays the creatures with such realism and Ivana Baquero is such a darling with her performance.

Following a bloody civil war, young Ofelia enters a world of unimaginable cruelty when she moves in with her new stepfather, a tyrannical military officer. Armed with only her imagination, Ofelia discovers a mysterious labyrinth and meets a faun who sets her on a path to saving herself and her ailing mother. But soon, the lines between fantasy and reality begin to blur, and before Ofelia can turn back, she finds herself at the center of a ferocious battle between good and evil.
