Don't go in expecting to see a horror movie, because it
isn't. It really is a gothic fairy tale with some creepy moments, but nothing
classifying as true horror. It would be scary to a child, like a fairy tale
would, with a moral to the story. As per usual for a Guillermo Del Torro film,
the art direction was fantastic. The creepy old mansion was beautiful and
magical just like all the environments in his films. It's one of those movies
that are better to watch with little distractions so you can get sucked in and
live in the world the film as created because it heavily relies on atmosphere. Quietly
follow the whispers and let the dark wash over you.
