very dark and disturbing (in a good way)

Rating: 7/10 (25 November 2007)

i liked this movie quite a bit.it's a fantasy movie for adults.there is a bit of very graphic,realistic violence.there is also quite a bit of very strong coarse language.the movie is in Spanish or French,with English subtitles.the creatures in this movie look fantastic.i found them to be utterly realistic.but i wish we had seen more scenes of them,as they don't appear very often.the movie is very dark,and i could see how it would be scary to some people.there are some really nasty human beings in this movie and the creatures can be kinda scary.the one thing i noticed was that the story is lacking somewhat.it just doesn't seem as developed as i felt it could be.however,the acting and i still thought this was a pretty good movie.but parents should definitely use their discretion about allowing their kids to watch it.by the way,this two disc version has a raft of extras with it.anyway,for me Pan's Labyrinth is a 7/10.
