Yes. This is a MUST own DVD. I did get to see it in the theaters and went back to see it two more times with different friends. It was done very well. There is still a lot of people that do not know about this movie. So spread the word.

 

I watched this film last night and it was worth it

 

great film. I saw it in theaters when it came out, then the next week watched "Volver" both were incredibly good. I love foreign films, I was pretty excited that both of these were well received.

Guillermo del Toro directed another movie in a similar vein that I liked called "El Espinazo del Diablo" or "The Devil's Backbone"

Took place in roughly the same time frame but in different location, a little creepier but a good movie.

IMO people don't give foreign films enough credit, theres a LOT of cinema gold out there if you aren't afraid of subtitles.

 

The problem with subtitles is Pan's Labyrinth is so visually stunning that you don't get time to read.

 

damn it. i knew i should of seen it when my bro rented it.

 

I just saw this on cable. a masterpiece of imaginative writing, well cast, well shot, superb special effects and haunting to say the least. I give it a 9 outta 10 and recommend it.

This is not a happy film, it is a serious look at events in a little girls life that ultimately lead to terrific tradgedy. It is told with fantasy and interesting fleshed out characters.

 

awesome movie

 

Great story...

 

It sucks cause I watched it with a hott chick at my house and we ended up not watching it... so now I have to watch it again.

 

I didn't like it that much... about the graveyard of the fireflies. that was a very good one.
