For me Del Toro just reheats some of the David Cronenberg and Clive Barker body horror stuff with less subtlety and more CGI (a personal pet hate). The idea of a subversive horror fantasy with shades of Alice in Wonderland/CS Lewis is a compelling one, but this film doesn't deliver it. This was more like ultra-violent Tim Burton for me, and I don't mean that in a good way.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7534509012046591314.post-19102154337577483232008-09-12T08:48:00.000+01:002008-09-12T08:48:00.000+01:00I'm glad I'm not alone.
