I've watched brilliant films and this one is nestled comfortably in my top 10 films...

Rating: 10/10 (12 October 2008)

I've watched a lot of classic films (must-watch ones) and for ages I've heard about this film from so many friends. However, not until recently did I decide to actually watch it and the film, unsurprisingly, blew me away.
Firstly, the violence exceeded my expectations. The scene where Ofelia's step-dad smashes that guy's nose with a bottle just sent a chill down my spine, when you see scenes like this you just want to intervene with the film itself and kick the guys ass. Another gruesome scene was when the outcast guy shot the captain just below his right eye and his eyeball went all funny. Revenge was swiftly taken and the captain actually expected them to tell his son about him, that was hilarious...
Well, I don't want to give too much away but this is definitely worth your time. Don't be a late-viewer like me, go watch it now...
