Pan’s Labyrinth

I’ve heard quite a bit of buzz surrounding this movie, which is getting glowing reviews from every direction. I’ve never fallen in love with any of Guillermo del Toro’s earlier work (Blade II, Hellboy), but the visual style of these movies has always hit my pleasure center, at least on some level. Pan’s Labyrinth looks to be an absolute visual feast, with style coming out its ears…

Fairytales aren’t supposed to be nice: The wolf ATE Little Red Riding Hood’s grandmother, the witch was trying to put Hansel and Gretle into her OVEN. Pan’s Labyrinth seems to take this to heart, placing itself squarely as a fairytale for adults: part horror, part fantasy.

Unforunately it doesn’t hit North America until December 29th…
Check out the trailer here.
