Excellent!

Rating: 10/10 (7 September 2008)

If I would not know that the director is Bayona, I could easily say "This film is Del Toro's". Maybe not the director but as the producer, it's clear to see that there is a touch of Del Toro on this movie. Anyway, beside Del Toro, Bayona is one of my favorite Spanish directors now. If Bayona does a work again, as I will definitely do, I fully advise you to try to see it without asking any questions as if it's good or not. Because it will definitely will be a great one! This film is amazing and its atmosphere reminded me Pan's Labyrinth. A world that based on children fantasies is always an interesting theme to use and show. Because this kind of pictures boils innocence and fear in the same cup. And you feel insecure, curious, pityingly and afraid. In this one, I felt all those feelings until the last scene. 10/10
