Plot: Mexican filmmaker Guillermo del Toro returns to the phantasmagorical cinema that defined such early fare as Cronos and The Devil's Backbone with this haunting fantasy-drama set in the aftermath of the Spanish Civil War and detailing the strange journeys of an imaginative young girl who may be the mythical princess of an underground kingdom. Her mother, Carmen (Ariadna Gil), recently remarried to sadistic army captain Vidal (Sergi López) and soon to bear the cruel military man's child, shy young Ofelia (Ivana Baquero) is forced to entertain herself as her recently-formed family settles into their new home nestled deep in the Spanish countryside. As Ofelia's bed-ridden mother lies immobilized in anticipation of her forthcoming child and her high-ranking stepfather remains determined to fulfill the orders of General Francisco Franco to crush a nearby guerilla uprising, the young girl soon ventures into an elaborate stone labyrinth presided over by the mythical faun Pan (Doug Jones). Convinced by Pan that she is the lost princess of legend and that in order to return to her underground home she must complete a trio of life-threatening tasks, Ofelia sets out to reclaim her kingdom and return to her grieving father as Vidal's housekeeper Mercedes (Maribel Verdú) and doctor (Alex Angulo) plot secretly on the surface to keep the revolution alive. ~ Jason Buchanan, All Movie Guide

Fantastic Spanish Movie
Added 11/24/2009

The magic realism in this movie is so touching, you can't help but feel for the little girl struggling to cope with her surroundings. There is one monster in this movie that is so freaky, only a great mind can make up such a thing! A must have in your collection of foreign language dvds!

Must-have for your Blu-ray Collection!
Added 11/18/2009

I have watched this amazing movie before on regular DVD quality, and even then it was mesmerizing and entertaining to watch.
Watching it on Blu-ray @ full 1080p/24hz quality makes it exponentially better to rewatch this mature fairy tale!

Excellent buy, and above all excellent movie!

Dark fairy tale for adults (customer images misleading!)
Added 10/21/2009

The story in this movie is original, creative, intense, startling, and beautiful. Definitely not for most kids. I can't express fully how much I loved this film. The subtitles did not bother at all. I prefer that to dubbed. I am actually writing this review because I found the customer images for this particular DVD to be very misleading. There are barely any special features on this DVD. There's a video prologue and commentary by the director. That's all.
