Just watched the movie, and I thought it was pretty disturbing. It was tense all the way through, and definitely worth checking out. Man, it was pretty creepy. I have only read positive reviews, so check out the movie!

Very freakin stinkin good movie, i wish i would have seen it at the movies or proper DVD instead via AVI. Great fantasy tale.
Here’s the directors follow up, if you thought that was disturbing.

I’ve heard about the Orphanage, and I am definitely going to see it.
but, yeah, pan’s labyrinth is an amazing movie.
i really suggest you watch The Orphanage. that movie is incredible and it’s even better when you realize it was the director’s first movie. (that’s what my manager said, anyway)
(also, if you like guillermo del toro movies, you should check out the devil’s backbone)
He directed Hellboy, Blade 2, and Mimic.
And soon to be directing The Hobit flick
youtube’d Devils backbone trailer, looks good,

guillermo del todo did not direct the orphanage, if that’s what you meant (as in, you were trying to disprove my statement that the orphanage was the director’s first movie)
my mistake,
Singed, posting comments while on confrence calls is not a good idea
"Don’t eat aything!"
"’Kay!" munch munch
you should really only eat or drink anything at a stranger’s home unless the label says "EAT/DRINK ME!"
But this movie, from start to finish, just hit me – I was drawn into the world that Del Toro crafted, and cared about the fate of all the characters. I’ve seen the movie multiple times, and the end still gets me every time – it truly is a masterpiece.
I can’t wait to see what Del Toro does with the Hobbit. Peter Jackson was a good director, but there are some parts of LOTR which suffered from his directing – with him producing (ensuring the top quality WETA production values) and Del Toro directing, I think The Hobbit will be something very, very special.

Exactly what I thought.
Honestly, I didn’t care for the movie that much. It was okay, but it just didn’t do anything for me. I had heard it was good, but…
Which brings me to another point:
Do you think she returns to her kingdom, or did she have an overactive imagination that stayed with her to the end? There is some evidence that it was all real, but there is enough doubt to pull away the fantasical events of the film. So what do you guys think?
I wanted to watch it, but I couldn’t.
What’s it about?
Redbat, it’s about a little girl and her pregnant mother who move into like……i wanna call it a military house, but it’s not really. anyway, they move there with the mom’s new husband and ofelia (the main character) finds a fairy and it leads her to a faun which tells her she is the reincarnated form of the princess of the underworld. he gives her 3 tasks to complete so that she can become the princess again.
interesting note: the movie’s original title is "El labarinto (sp) del fauno" which means, "the labyrinth of the faun." the movie has no relation and does not involve Pan at all, but the translators decided to rename the movie with Pan’s name in it, so that the english speaking audiences could associate it with something they were familiar with, and so that it would draw them to the movie.
I really hate it when people try to determine what an audience will feel based on their own experience. I di not become attached to Ofelia. I thought she was an annoying cunt of a girl who only got progressively more annoying and I laughed at the end.
And her father is a such a bastard.
Yes, quite the father figure.
