7/10
For me the most memorable scene was the one with the pale man. This scene is memorable because of the costume and setting. The costume is pretty much flawless and shows how much care was put into the make up with the the prosthetics. The dinning hall was detailed and the paintings on the ceiling of the horrible acts the pale man has committed helped to emphasise the danger Ofelia is in.

8/10
memorable scene: the shot out at the house after the shopping is delivered. This scene foreshadows how the rest of their life is going to be with shooting and deaths following them. The scene is well shot as you can understand what is happening yet still incorporating the chaos that would come with a shoot out.

memorable scene: after Combo is beating up Milky and then having a go at Banjo and Meggy and Shaun is crying and screaming, Combo tells Shaun that “Men Don’t cry!” this probably hit home for a lot of men that grew up around that time.
