Wow. The Labyrinth of the Faun is quite a weird fairy tale / history. Guillermo del Toro has an amazing vision and knack for realizing that vision.

Certain items, such as insects and clocks, figure into most, if not all of his work. And creatures with misplaced or too many eyes. (The second Hellboy wasn’t as good as the first, but had several mind-blowing images clearly from del Toro.)

The violence of the history – of the real monster, played too well by Sergi López – was difficult to watch. I don’t think the movie had a “happy” ending, but that may depend on your faith.
