20 Brilliant Mind-F*ck Movies
7. Pans Labyrinth
Pans Labyrinth is one of writer-director Guillermo del Toros true masterpieces. Messing with our heads throughout, del Toro weaves between 1994 Francoist Spain and a mythical world of beasts and monsters. Stunning visuals accompany this surreal story, resulting in a fascinating fantasy film.
A young girl called Ofelia (played by Ivana Baquero) is the protagonist, who follows a stick insect she believes to be a fairy from her ordinary life to a beautifully bizarre fantasy realm. Here she meets a wide array of strange creatures and undergoes a series of tasks in an attempt to fulfil her destiny and become immortal.
Pans Labyrinth also boasts one of the most frequent commodities on this list an ending that can be read various ways. And if that doesnt freak you out, the Pale Man definitely will.
