A very dark fairytale. The two worlds of the film, 1944 Spain and the Faerie world are both richly textured and detailed. There are really two stories interwoven into one, each one equally engaging. The creature designs are gorgeous, with very little CGI for the main creatures. The violence in the film is extreme and gory, but it all occurs in the “normal” world, which makes it that much more horrific. The camera rarely ever looks away, even when you wish it very much would.
