A decent thriller with a stinking fantasy part

Rating: Null/10 (17 September 2017)

I have to say that the technical aspects of the film are brilliant, including makeup, cinematography, music score, production design, visual effects and so on.
The plot is also amazing. The scene that Mercedes tries to escape, and the final chase scene resulting in the death of Ofelia, are simply thrilling and breathtaking.
Nonetheless, the fantasy part really stinks. The faun, the mandrake root, the toad, the Pale Man, the bugs and some other fantasy characters are just stinking, disgusting, ugly, horrifying and awful, which largely undermines the beauty of the fantasy world.
