Mexico/Spain (2006): Drama/Fantasy/Thriller

Set against the post-war repression of Franco's Spain, the film unfolds through the eyes of Ofelia (Ivana Baquero), a dreamy little girl who is uprooted to a rural military outpost commanded by her new stepfather (Sergi López). Powerless and lonely in a place of unfathomable cruelty, Ofelia lives out her own dark fable as she confronts monsters both otherworldly and human. Written and directed by Guillermo del Toro, the film also features Ariadna Gil, Maribel Verdú and Doug Jones. (Picturehouse - Web site)
