20 Best Movie Blu-Rays Of 2016

Ten years ago, Mexican director Guillermo del Toro released his gothic fantasy Pan’s Labyrinth. Set in the aftermath of the Spanish Civil War, the movie focuses on young Ofelia who escapes her brutal reality by conjuring up an imaginary world populated by eerie, mythical creatures and went on to receive nigh on universal acclaim and a few Academy Awards too. To mark the occasion, Criterion are releasing a three-part Blu-ray boxset that includes Pan’s Labyrinth alongside del Toro’s debut feature Cronos, a Mexico set vampire flick, and his 2001 gothic horror The Devil’s Backbone.

Featuring stunning illustrations by Russian artist Vania Zouravliov, Trilogía de Guillermo del Toro comes with a tonne of extras including making-of documentaries, del Toro’s 1987 horror short Geometria and a 100-page book with essays by film critics, production notes and sketches. A must-have for any fan of the Mexican master of fantasy.
