An Atmospheric Delight

Rating: 8/10 (22 August 2010)

Can you believe that some people refuse to watch or even down rate a film because it's foreign and has subtitles? I mean, come on! How hard is it to read... Anyway, please ignore those reviews and simply go rent this! You won't be disappointed. It's stunning. A real atmospheric delight. It has a great story-line, beautifully acted with a few shocks and turns thrown in to keep you hooked and enthralled. Del Toro is the master of this sort of work, and if you're a fan of his, then you MUST see this. I loved Pan's Labyrinth and The Devil's Backbone, and The Orphanage is another hit. I personally prefer films in their original language, I feel it adds to the authenticity. Another triumph from Del Toro. Highly recommended!
