I have revisited Pan's Labyrinth(2006). I think it's mostly great, but some of the violence is a little much for me. It's set in Spain in 1944. It's a combination fantasy story, which is great, with the real life story. The little girl Ofelia is in a horrible situation with her mother and evil stepfather Captain Vidal who hunts the Spanish Maquis who fight against the Fascist reign in the region. Ofelia is drawn into a fantasy world by a mysterious faun creature and is given three tasks to complete. All the creatures in the movie are a wonder, you really feel you're in a fantasy world. The ending is wonderful after some tragedy along the way. I recommend unless you're squeamish about violence.
