Pan's Labyrinth

Saw Pan's Labyrinth on Saturday night. Wonderful stuff! I must admit, I was attracted mainly by the fantasy aspect of the storyline - but I found the 'real' story (set during the early days of Franco's Fascist regime in 1940s Spain) to be just as compelling.

A dark film, with a noble heart. Definitely not one for the kiddies - but I'm sure that won't stop some nitwits from taking their children to see it. The scenes with that horrible child-eating monster, with eyeballs in the palms of its hands??!? Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa... *hides*
