Rare masterpiece. ...slmple...

Rating: 10/10 (29 December 2013)

Where do you start with such an outstanding masterpiece. ..you start watching this movie with a certain idea of where this is going but boy oh boy are you wrong...it has dark almost black moments and then right next to these you have exceptionally beautiful moments happily riding along in perfect harmony..The look of this movie is bleak and damp and captures the war torn atmosphere perfectly even though its set in and around a forest with no damaged buildings to rely on..surely a feat on its own...The creatures partly played gloriously by"Doug Jones" are simply incredible. If you have not seen this movie put down your pad right now and go and watch this beautiful gem of a film ..I am extremely envious of you as I only wish I could go back in time and watch again with fresh eyes...a film like this comes around very seldom, so go enjoy the privilege. ..Del Torro ....you are a genius and I salute you...
