A girl ,obsessed with fairy tales and living with a sadistic stepfather who hunts Communist guerrillas in post-Civil War Spain, is informed by a faun that he will restore her to her throne as an immortal fairy princess if she can complete three tasks. This would have made an exc...( read more)
A very unique and outstanding attempt on the combination of an adult fairy tale and realistic resistance war story. Director Del Toro manages to merge those two very different aspects into a very moving, exciting and entertaining movie with wonderful effects and design. Definitel...( read more)
While I have REAL problems with the second task Ophelia was given, I think this is a well made movie. I'd like to see it a few more times, before I make my final verdict...

A dark, creepy, sad tale of incorruptible innocence and ultimate sacrifice,I'm very glad I saw it...
A well made and touching film. Deserving of its fame, it's sure to make people think about the condition of Ofelia, the film's protagonist, in a world seemingly fused with one of barbarity and confusion.
I always love Guillermo's. His works could always engaged different perspective about so many things behind/ beyond all that creepy and scary stuff around us. I also like how he combined, fantasies, myth, (so often) war scene and of course - Children world and innocentness.
