Synopsis

Written and directed by Guillermo del Toro, PAN'S LABYRINTH is a thrilling, violent fairy tale set in post-Civil War Spain. Ivana Baquero stars as Ofelia, a young girl who moves with her mother, Carmen (Ariadna Gil), into the home of Captain Vidal (Sergi López), in an abandoned mill in the middle of dark, dangerous woods. Vidal is leading his team of soldiers against resistance fighters--and he will do whatever is necessary to kill every last one of them. As Vidal bosses around the pregnant Carmen, a flying creature leads Ofelia through a garden labyrinth and into an underground cave ruled by Pan (HELLBOY's Doug Jones), who believes that Ofelia might be the lost princess of this strange yet magical place. To prove she is royalty, Ofelia must complete three tasks, each more difficult and terrifying than the previous one. Meanwhile, Vidal is becoming more and more paranoid, torturing and murdering seemingly at will. Del Toro (THE DEVIL'S BACKBONE, HELLBOY, CRONOS) creates a marvelous battle between good and evil, between heroes and villains, in both the real world aboveground and the mystical land below. Baquero gives a compelling performance as the terrorized Ofelia, who is befriended by Mercedes (Maribel Verdú), a woman who harbors some secrets of her own. Stellar production design, superb special effects, and a stirring score by Javier Navarrete add to the scary fun. Selected as the closing-night entry in the 2006 New York Film Festival, PAN'S LABYRINTH is a captivating story that is not for the squeamish.

Absolutely LOVE this film. One of my top ten all-time favorites.

Would've been perfect if Future Shop used the entire art and made a red variant:

This was meant to be the April release, but zerox39 said over on HDN that there was an unexpected delay so they had to push it back.

It's a great looking steelbook, though. I'm disappointed that 3/5 of the Mondo steels have been movies I already own (though only Pan's was one I had a steel of), but all these new ones look much much nicer on my shelf and I'll definitely be picking this one up as well.

And it's the cheapest one yet, I think!

continuity is messing with me... i own the other Mondo releases...

NeMo_ET · 03-20-2015, 12:05 PM

Outside of Drive, I skipped the other mondo releases but I think I'm going to have to get this one. Need to double check the collection and see if I have the standard release already

agoofykindasuperman · 03-20-2015, 12:07 PM

At this point, I've just been ordering all the Mondo Steelbooks so far, so no reason to stop now!

KazzPetrelli · 03-20-2015, 12:10 PM

Awesome! Mr. Fork, count me in for GB!

Not sure if that means the FS art is not the final one yet or if the rest may be on the back

Jude72 · 03-20-2015, 01:19 PM

Isn't this the 5th one?

It would have looked worlds better with the bottom part used instead of the top. The actual cover should have been relegated to the back. Missed opportunity here

KazzPetrelli · 03-20-2015, 01:35 PM

Just wondering, numbered version only available on variant version right? Not regular version?

I 111% agree. Holy crap that Steelbook would have been beyond gorgeous. I don't even use that word in most cases, but gorgeous it would be.

Bades · 03-25-2015, 09:05 PM

Ugh, I'm a huge fan of Struzan's work, but the back of the Zavvi steelbook sort of ruins the whole thing. I'm also not a huge fan of putting that particular creature on the front of a steelbook. Decisions, decisions... I might end up going with the Mondo anyway and start a Mondo collection.

Apologize for MS Paint level photoshop, but I threw this together real fast at work.

That's going to be the Inside Art

Not sure if I like how it's spread there. I'm sounding especially picky now, aren't I?

Wish we could reverse the images, have that be the cover and hide the Pale Man behind the disc. He already has a "peek-a-boo" vibe.
