Pan's Labyrinth Critical Review

Heres a short review for Pan's Labyrinth from Empire Online.

"Plot
Spain, 1944. Young Ofelia (Baquero) is taken by her pregnant mother (Gil) to live with her Fascist commander stepfather (López) in a remote town. There she meets a faun (Jones) who tells her that if she performs certain tasks she will become queen of a magical land.

Verdict
Dark, twisted and beautiful, this entwines fairy-tale fantasy with war-movie horror to startling effect.
