A Twisted Dark Fantasy!

Rating: 10/10 (2 January 2017)

In this beautiful film directed by the talented Guillermo Del Toro, he brings imagination and fantasy to life. The film that surrounds the adventures of a young girl named Ofelia, are intertwined with the wrath of her new step father Captain Vidal. His strategical military view is abrasive and firm. Ofelia is tasked by a faun to carry our several types of errands so that she can be with her family from the underworld. Meanwhile Captain Vidal is killing everyone from the doctor to the rabbit hunters. He even killed the rabbit hunters with a beer bottle. That is actually pretty impressive. Vidal's views are Type A personality style. He is stern with his soldiers and has a form of Hitler mentality. The ideology of this film is basically from Captain Vidal wanting a better Spain. And he will stop at nothing to achieve his goal. This film is an intense film for anyone to watch. From Vidal killing everyone in his way to his cheek being slashed open. This is a film definitely not for children, but for adults to escape in their inner Ofelia to an adventure far away.
