This is one of the big movies I wanted to see this Challenge. It had such a cool look and I was looking forward to watching it with my son.
Well I have to say it did not disappoint. It is less a horror movie as it is a movie with horrific moments. Much like it's not a ghost story as it is a story with ghosts. I think that set some people off a bit.
The movie was written and directed by Guillermo del Toro and you can really tell. Aside from all the Pacific Rim guest stars, there is also a Pan's Labyrinth feel to this.
The actors are great really especially the three leads.
Connor really enjoyed it, loved the mystery but wanted it to be more scary.
Still. I enjoyed it.

I enjoyed it too. I put it as: "If you like Del Toro's work and Gothic Horror, you will like this film, if you don not like one or both, you will not." Luckily, I like both. Though I would not have minded seeing more ghosts either.
