this film is an absolute must see. its got it all from extreme brutal violence to cute and cuddly (sorry no necrophilia teeds :\).

if you dont mind reading subtitles, you really cant miss it. though to be fair, there doesnt seem to be that much dialogue in it and relys heavily on what you can see. infact one of the best scenes in the film has no dialogue at all for about 10 minutes or so.

from what i can gather on the net this is an amateur effort (though i could be mistaken) and for an amateur effort it blows all the big wigs right out the water.

not an amateur effort, directed by a fairly well known spanish director (he directed hellboy) and produced by warner bros.

i've been told to go and see it but i'm too poor. it looks awesome.

im unsure if its based on a myth of some sort or it was created in a moment of genius.

Just seen it and it is indeed an awesome movie, best ive seen in a good long while. The girl playing the lead role is an amazing actor for someone so young, and the rest of the acting is top notch. Will have to keep a closer eye on the spanish moviescene in the future.

Actually mexican and a very well known and accomplished director. IF people liked Pan's they shoud definately check out Cronos and The Devils Bakcbone which IMO are his two other great films.

I saw this in the local cinema a few months ago. Highly recommended, on top of what everyone else has said.

Just seen it.

Fantastic!

Far more violent than I was expecting though.

I've had this and the prestige preordered for a while now. Both came today :)

Both are great films, shame the cinema I saw them in has shut now, the local vue would never show something like this :(
