"Pan's Labirynth" is a Mexican Spanish language dark fantasy film, written and directed by Mexican film-maker, Guillermo del Toro. It was created in October 11, 2006. This movie takes place in Spain in May–June 1944, five years after the Spanish Civil War, during the early Francoist period. The narrative of the film interweaves this real world with a fantasy world centered around an overgrown abandoned labyrinth and a mysterious faun creature, with which the main character, Ofelia, interacts. Ofelia's stepfather, the Falangist Captain Vidal, hunts the Spanish Maquis who fight against the Fascist reign in the region, while Ofelia's pregnant mother grows increasingly ill. Ofelia meets several strange and magical creatures who become central to her story, leading her through the trials of the old labyrinth garden.
In my opinion, This movie was amazing. The special effects, the wild creatures, the mysterious events and tasks Ofelia has to go through, it all comes together amazingly. My favourite parts of this movie was the mystical creatures that were evil and good in this movie as well as how they were created. I have nothing bad to say about this movie and i was very glad there were sub titles because it was all in spanish. I recomend this movie to people who enjoy fairy tales and to people ages 13+ because there is some gore in this film. I give this movie a rating of 4.5 out of 5 bananas.
