The holidays have descended upon us again, and you know what? I got the bug. I’m feeling generous. This is the official season of giving and I’m gonna give! Unfortunately, you’re not getting something awesome. This is more like getting chlamydia. But, at least I’m warning you?

Today I’m going to give you a list that will be perfect inspiration for your Christmas Holiday / New Years list. I’m going to tell you about some strange, terrible, and ridiculous movie monsters.

10.  Giant, fluffy bunnies (from Night of the Lepus)

You know what the internet loves? (Besides horrific p*rnography, of course.) Cute animals! The internet loves cute animals, as evidenced by the ubiquity of the cheezburger hasing lolcats. In this day and age, there’s no way that anybody could be scared by a movie about big, evil rabbits. But, was this »

Pan’s Labyrinth (El laberinto del fauno, Guillermo del Toro 2006) is a film that seems to come up frequently on lists of top ten favourite films: finally having the opportunity to see it, I was curious to see what had attracted people to this film. Pan’s Labyrinth should feel at home alongside a film like Amélie (Jean-Pierre Jeunet, 2001), another frequent mention among top ten lists.

Indeed, del Toro's "adult fairytale" is hardly the sort of fable that would induce either sexual or romantic yearnings. The story of a young girl who attempts to escape the brutal repression of General Francisco Franco's Spain by creating her own dark fantasy world, Pan's Labyrinth is movie magic at its most visceral. [Note: Spoilers ahead.] Set in 1944 Spain, where isolated groups of rebels were still fighting Franco's totalitarian right-wing government, Pan's Labyrinth starts with a prologue about a [...] »
