I saw this movie two days ago and dear Lord is it amazing! One of the best new movies I've seen! It's definitely a fairy-tale for adults what with all the violence and shooting and stuff in it. Some parts were very suspenseful and had me literally at the edge of my seat while others were very moving.
Has anyone else seen this movie? If not, I suggest you spend the eight bucks a ticket costs and go watch it right away! By the way, the entire movie is in Spanish but has English subtitles.

"Pan's Labyrinth" is the story of a young girl who travels with her pregnant mother to live with her mother's new husband in a rural area up North in Spain, 1944, after Franco's victory. The girl lives in an imaginary world of her own creation and faces the real world with much chagrin. Post-war Fascist repression is at its height in rural Spain and the girl must come to terms with that through a fable of her own.
And here's something that might seem like a spoiler, but it's the first thing you see when the movie starts! Ofelia (the girl) is dead with blood comin' out of her nose. My brother told me that and I had to see it to find out why!
Also, the ending may be grim depending on how you look at it.[/img]
