Extremely Violent and Depressing

Rating: 6/10 (12 January 2007)

There is no debating that "Pan's Labrynth" is a well made movie, but it is so relentlessly violent, sadistic, and depressing; that I could not enjoy it.
Judging by the popularity of this film on this website and the professional reviews, apparently the amount of sadistic violence does not bother most people. I have certainly been able to sit though my share, but this film was so repulsive that I cannot say I had a good time watching it.
I go to the movies to be entertained, not repulsed. "Pan's Labrynth" certainly has many attributes, but don't say I didn't warn you. If you like films like "Saw" and "Hostel," the violence will not bother you. If you are squeamish, you should stay away.
