Fairy Tales for Grownups

Pan’s Labyrinth. Despite the fact that this looks a little bit like a kids’ movie in the previews, it is most definitely adult fare. Dark, intense, and creepy are all things you’d expect from a Guillermo del Toro movie, but what I didn't expect was to be so completely absorbed. There were a few special effects in this film, but they were so well done that there was no point where they distracted me from the story. (The torture scenes did that well enough...) Definitely worthy of its Oscar noms.
