Finally got around to watching this masterpiece of a movie. Most often described as a “fairy tale for adults.” And that description is apt. Besides the visuals being stunning, I loved that the most evil “thing” in the movie was man himself. Not Pan, who I was sure was evil. Or even the pale “man”. (which by the way was pretty f’n cool looking). But the most evil thing being her stepfather. I got a very Hitler-esque vibe from him and his soldiers. Obey orders, no questions asked. A highly recommended movie if you can live with subtitles as the movie is only in spanish.

Now I need to track down some of Guillermo Del Toro’s other work. Heard great things. Only other one I’ve seen is Hellboy, and while I enjoyed it, it left alot to be desired.
