LOL me and my sisters were screaming our heads off i didnt want to walk into the dining room LOL
That movie is a real trip all together, but I gotta say, the tall man here was one of the best creepy parts of the movie.
He eats kids!=)
LOVE this movie. I had creepy dreams about this guy afterwards though.
Geriatric nudist Voldemort does party tricks?
You win, my friend.
Anyway, awesome movie with awesomely weird characters and extra special thanks to Del Toro for doing his own subtitles so those of us who are bilingual could watch a movie without being driven up the wall by inaccurate subtitles.
Pan’s Labyrinth! that movie was something else
and that dude right there scared the hell out of me
Ditto.
wow never heard of it. Just checked out a few clips and I would like to see that.
It’s visually thrilling and very moving, but also very sad.
I’m not sorry I watched it, but I’ll never view it again.
*SPOILER ALERT!* the worst part of it for me was the father beating up the soldier! that made me nearly throw up!
That was the point where it was driven home to me that no, this is NOT a kid’s movie.
Oh heck no, it surely was NOT! Despite the fact that all of the previews and clips seemed to indicate it was, if not a kids movie, at least not a movie that would be inappropriate for mature young teens. It was not presented as a horror movie, but it most definitely was one.
Yes, I always have to fast-forward over that. Didn’t know about it the first time through and am still rather traumatised >_<
Same here. Good movie but too depressing to watch again.
Agreed. It was beautifully done — the cinematography, the effects, the writing, the acting, and especially the music, were all amazing. It was also set among some of the most gorgeous scenery on earth. The lead actress was a lovely girl, and the whole movie was infused with a sort of lush, sensual (in the ‘feast for the senses’ way, not ’sexual’) beauty that was inescapable. It did a fabulous job of manipulating emotions through mood, language, music, etc., the plot was impossible to pull out of, and the little actress deserves a bazillion awards for her performance…. but…. but….
I will never watch it again, and unlike you, I honestly am sorry I watched it. I started crying halfway through, and pretty much didn’t stop, and was still feeling shaky and sick, like I’d woken up from the world’s worst nightmare, two hours later. I did have nightmares for months, in fact. Because… all of that beauty, that whole rich, glorious, sensory orgy was a backdrop for the most horrible, chilling ugliness in the world, and the contrast just made every act of cruelty, every revolting monstrosity, every revealed ugliness of the human soul that much worse. It was like white roses covered in blood… rainbows made of crushed butterflies, still alive and silently screaming… laughing, bright-eyed toddlers playing with human entrails. It just felt so unutterably _wrong_ to have such horrors clothed in such splendor, so perverse, twisted, unsettling. It was far more disturbing, more horrific, than any slasher film — than any film I’ve ever seen, honestly, and I’m normally a “giggle and make sarcastic comments while the cast is dismembered” kind of girl — because of that. Nor am I the kind of person to object to the presentation of darkness/blood/violence in a sensual or erotic manner; I’m rather fond of that sort of thing, actually, when it’s done well. I think, though, that here it was done far _too_ well. The over-the-top violence was far too believable, the evil too real. It left me with a very real, unshakable feeling of absolute wrongness, in the end, and I only watched through to the end because, by the point I realized what I was watching, I couldn’t look away without knowing how it ended… as I said, it was _very_ well done. The ending itself — well, I won’t say anything to give it away, to anyone who might still wish to watch it, but I will say that I found it almost completely unsatisfactory, and it just added to the entire motif of beauty/innocence/hope being perverted/abused/destroyed, _whichever_ way it could have been interpreted, in my opinion. Overall, it was the most depressing, horrifying movie I have ever watched, while at the same time being an absolute, undeniable, artistic masterpiece.
I also have no idea how that poor little actress came out of that movie without needing some serious therapy, and am not sure that having/allowing a child act in such a thing shouldn’t be considered child abuse. On the other hand, she performed so amazingly, and from all reports came through with no issues at all, and it’d be plain criminal to not allow such talent to be shown and acknowledged…. so I’m torn on that issue.
this movie scared the sh!t out of me
so creepy movie!
Doug does the creepy very well – he was also the lead Gentleman in “Hush.”
And the Silver Surfer in Fantastic Four II: Rise of the Silver Surfer.
He also played Abe Sapien in Hellboy
BALL STATE CHIRP CHIRP
THAT is a very scary creepy monster mi friends, not too say one of the most original one’s I’ve seen since alien…
That’s quite a trick, Mr. Pale Man. But, can you rub your tummy and pat your head at the same time?
PAN’S LABYRINTH!!! That’s amazing! I can’t beleive that’s actually on here! I didn’t think it was popular enough. Wow!
Anyway, he was VERY creepy in the movie. I think that the part with him in it was the scarriest. That movie was the best I’ve ever seen in my life! Everything was SO well directed and the theme is GREAT! I love seeing the other side of the war, as well as it being turned into a fantasy adventure!
They also did a REALLY good job while putting thought into this monster. He gives the plot-line a very “mythical legend” edge. The idea of him eating children that feed off of the food in his dining hall was just brilliant!
As soon as I saw the eyes on his hands, I shouted for my brother to come into the room. Not because I was scared, but because we are both Naruto-fans, and he reminded us both of Deidara. The only thing is that Deidara has MOUTHS on his hands, not eyes.
Oh, you were scared. That’s just not why you called to your brother.
Best movie ever made.
Del Toro is a brilliant director. If you haven’t seen this movie yet, do it right now. Also check out The Devil’s Backbone. It will make you shiver from beginning to end and for all eternity every time you think about it.
The only thing worse than this caption is the movie itself.
I didn’t care for the movie. The child was far too old to believe in fairy tales (although the director admitted this– he had intended a younger actress, but felt that the girl chosen was the best overall pick).
I accept the mother’s desperation, and her willingness to accept the rule of the captain– she and Ofelia had to eat, after all. and many women have made similiar bargains in the hope of giving their children a better life.
The captain’s personal vendetta was ridiculously overdone, in my opinion. The war scenes were vicious, and definitely didn’t need to be as violent as they were. Nor did the captain need to be a sadist.
Ofelia’s fantasy world was well-done, however. The fact that the faun wasn’t necessarily good, or even necessarily on her side, made it more interesting.
The part of the story in the pic I found a bit silly– if Ofelia was really into fairy tales to the extent portrayed, she’d never have eaten the grapes.
The end of the movie left me emotionally drained and depressed.
This movie will stay with me for a very long time, but I hated it, and I wish I hadn’t seen it.
omg lol! i dunno why pans labyrinth was so scary lol
it was though
v. depressing though
im almost glad there were subs to read, i didnt have to watch some of the movie
