    My sis saw it in melborne and said it was good, its not even out here yet for some stupid reason. You could look at a trailer and/or read a review to find out what its about - it is subtittled, spanish is the language spoken in it, literally translated the tittle should be "The Labyrinth of the Faun."

    The reason I ask is because the teaser trailor and the trailor make it look 'different'. They show a fascist military police involvement and some other stuff that could indicate it is more of a melodramtic thriller, semi-horror flick and less of a sci-fi, fantasy movie.

    The story is set during second world war in europe, while german troops occupied most of europe, the main chartacter is then visited by a faun/satyr and introduced to a magical realm in which she is told she is a princess...

    I haven't seen the whole movie, so I can't spoil the story any further. ;)

    Actually it's set in Spain under rule of general Franco.
    Well, it's almost the same what Al said, just being more
    specific. ;)

    Isn't this the same guy that did Hellboy? I hope it comes to pay per view soon. I got a kick out of Hellboy 1 and 2. :)

    "A swift German annexing of formerly Polish territory..."
