Pan’s labyrinth First Response

I would give the film an 8/10

A memorable scene for me is when we first see Vidal torture a man for suspicion that he is a member of the opposing side. We see him stone faced as he bludgeons his nose again and again while the father of the victim watches. This is when we see how heartless and evil this man is. The editing is a shot reverse shot between the victim and Vidal, and this emphasises how unfazed Vidal is by his own brutal actions. The sound also helps as all we here is the disturbing impact sound between the bottle and nose through out.

The iconic image that I have chosen is is the introduction of the pale man creature. This creature is undoubtable the most terrifying thing in the whole movie, and sets the tone for what this movie represents, a horrific journey.
