Rated R for Graphic Violence and Language
I saw Pan's Labyrinth yesterday on the movie network after hearing plenty of good things about it.From the plot, it sounded like a family film.I mean there's a young girl who is the protagonist and it seems sort of like Harry Potter.Then I was surprised to find that it was Rated R.There's no sex or nudity but there is plenty of graphic violence and blood.Also some profanity.THe film takes place in 1940's Spain.A young girl named Ofelia is with her pregnant mother visiting her stepfather.The stepfather is a cruel and sadistic Capitan who enjoys killing and torturing and doesn't like Ofelia that much.She befriends a kitchen worker who is really a spy.One day, Ofelia visits the labyrinth and a faun asks her to complete three tasks.Pan's Labyrinth has good special effects and it is an interesting fantasy film.Watch it if you like the genre.
