Pan’s Labyrinth
A pregnant woman is caught between the crossfire of military soldiers and resistance fighters… hey, that sounds like “Children of Men”, except it's 1944 Spain, not 2027 England. Does a young girl’s imagination get out of hand as she tries to escape her cruel stepfather’s war-driven world? It is the Spanish Civil War meets Alice in Wonderland in this gloomy, gruesome, grotesque fairy tale/war story about good and evil, bravery and sacrifice, love and loss. The girl, Ofelia, must choose wisely as she navigates through the dangerous real world and the equal deadly fantasy realm which leads her to the labyrinth’s portal and her Neverland. This "R" rated dark tale by Guillermo Del Toro may not be for you if you are squeamish about crawly bugs, creepy creatures, and brutal violence.
Alien gives it 3 “tasks and a second chance” stars out of 4.
