In which the Mister and the Monsters join me in reviewing PAN'S LABYRINTH (2006), currently streaming on Netflix. Written and directed by the amazing Guillermo del Toro, the film tells the story of a young girl, Ofelia (Ivana Baquero) who goes with her mother, to live with her new stepfather, Vidal (exquisitely played by Sergi López), a cruel and sadistic general in Franco's army. Ofelia finds comfort in her books and stories and is soon swept up in an adventure in which she just maybe royalty and is tasked to reclaim her birth right. Please note there are SPOILERS in this review.
