Faun’s maze
Of course, this list could not be complete without the Faun’s Labyrinth, honored with three Oscars, from the directing workshop of Guillermo del Toro. This dreamlike and timeless horror movie is not only a journey into children’s phantasmagoria, but also into human desires and demons. At the same time, subtle and terrifyingly beautiful in its execution, the picture combines the best of a historical story and horror. In addition, a great script, plot and make-up that stays in your memory for good. Del Toro’s film is a must-see not only for lovers of the director’s film achievements, but also for those who sympathize with broadly understood fantasy.
Orphanage
The Orphanage is the full-length debut of Juan Antonio Bayron, which echoed widely on the stage of not only Spanish but also world horror films. This is evidenced by the total number of awards and nominations he has received during various film festivals. It was this picture that opened the door to a greater directing career for the artist. The film itself, as befits Spanish productions – dark, atmospheric, captivating and moving. Such a set of feelings ensures deep experiences during the screening – Marcin Panuś
