Has anybody here seen this movie besides me yet? Very unusual and chilling at the same time. Not for kids!!!
Great 6.1 DTS-ES discrete sound and fantastic visuals. Made by the director of Hellboy,
Guillermo del Toro.
It is in Spanish though so anyone wary of subtitles be forewarned.

I hope to check it out soon. Really liked "Hellboy"--felt they got the tone just right.

I've been meaning to see this. I think I'll move it up the netflix queue. People who don't watch subtitled movies are missing out on a ton of good movies. "Whut, Earl? How comes these guys ain't speakin' Uhmerkin?"

I've heard great things about it. I have it on my "to watch" list, although I doubt that I will ever own it.
It isn't something my wife would watch, and obviously not for the kids, so no buying for me...

Tremendous movie. Saw it in the theatres twice. Very imaginative, great visuals, great story telling. A fairy tale made for adults. Be forewarned however, the movie contains a lot more Spanish Civil war content than you might think, and a few very graphic scenes. Del Toro is one of my favourite directors working today.

Yes I should have mentioned in my original post about the content balance. The fantasy sequences in the film are in total only about 10 minutes or so but to me the rest of the film is just as interesting in a difficult to watch... difficult to look away kind of way.

One of my favorite movies from the past year or two. I primarily associate del Toro with Blade 2, which was...OK, I guess. Hellboy was better, but Pan's Labyrinth is in another class altogether.
Don't be expecting something in the spirit of Hellboy/Blade 2, that's for sure! You'll be in for a shock.

I enjoyed it, very difficult to explain the range of feelings and emotions this movie brings out. By no means your typical Hollywood production with a Fairy Tale ending.
A computer once beat me at chess, but it was no match for me at kick boxing.

The little missus and I watched this movie a couple of evenings back and we both enjoyed it very much, best movie we've seen in a long time.
