I’ve been hearing bits and pieces about this movie over the past few months. Over at Dark Horizons, they’ve posted some pictures from it that just make me want to see it more.
But it’s the description from the Official Site that clinches it for me…
PAN’S LABYRINTH is a fanciful and chilling story set against the backdrop of a fascist regime in 1944 rural Spain. The film centers on Ofelia, a lonely and dreamy child living with her mother and adoptive father; a military officer tasked with ridding the area of rebels. In her loneliness, Ofelia creates a world filled with fantastical creatures and secret destinies. With post-war repression at its height, Ofelia must come to terms with her world through a fable of her own creation.
Sounds good to me.
