Get Lost In Pan's Labyrinth On May 15

It may not have won the Best Foreign Film Oscar (that honor went to The Lives Of Others) but that hasn’t stopped Pan’s Labyrinth from making quite an impression. Whether people were blown away by it or found it too disturbing, it had pretty much everyone talking. And it proved that Guillermo del Toro has a creative vision that can’t be denied, one that involves a monster with eyes on his hands, no less.

Courtesy of New Line Home Entertainment, Pan’s Labyrinth will spook its way onto DVD on May 15.
