Horrific scenes of violence

Rating: 5/10 (23 March 2007)

This film was interesting and haunting, yet it should definitely have been an 18 certificate, with horrific scenes of violence and torture. It terrifies me that my 15 year old niece would be aloud to watch this film. Having said that, the artistic side of the film was very good, and kept my interest to the end, and the viewer is left wondering if the fairy tale world was all part of the young girls imagination. It is nice to see a film like this doing well in the face of the normal, dull, Hollywood blockbuster. There should be more of this kind, but the certification should be stricter.
