Haunting and magical

Rating: 10/10 (29 November 2017)

This is my favorite film of Guillermo Del Toro's. It captures a little seen era of history and injects it with (pardon the cliché) magical realism and a sense of wonder. All of the performances are great and the ambiance of this film instantly sets you ill at ease. It's like a twisted fairy tale and I hesitate to say too much more about it.
