I just saw this interesting film; and, although I thought was obviously violent, I didn't think it was gory...i.e. stomach-churning violence(possibly showing guts and everything else) that makes you turn away, or want to leave the theatre....or even lose your dinner.
Too, I've seen more films even moreso violent than 'Pan's Labyrinth' : Brother (Takeshi Kitano film)...and I'm sure there are more violent films, as well as films that put heavy violence just to be exploitative.
Like 'Saving Private Ryan,' 'Pan's Labyrinth's' violence is realistic, I think...to show the world that is being depicted.

It was quite gory to me but as you rightly pointed out, there are films that are even more gory.

I think realistic situations in movies like the examples you gave of Pan's Labyrinth and Saving Private Ryan disturb us more than fantasy violence like in a Saw movie or a zombie movie.
I think that the filmakers of Pan's Labyrinth knew this and used the gore to teach us something about the world and leave us with memorable impressions so that their movie would stay in our minds in a way that other movies might not.

that's a thoroughly different style of gore than Sweeney Todd i does not learn the two. Sweeney Todd has style of a jewel finding tone to the blood and the spurting is over the strategies-blowing, not sensible. The gore in Pan's Labyrinth is lots extra actual and the undertaking rely is extra severe. there is an exceedingly image (shockingly image) scene of a guy having his face bashed in. There are different scenes besides yet this one became the main image to me. i might say Pan's Labyrinth is extra image than Sweeney Todd even however Todd has extra blood.

I have seen lots and lots of horror and zombie films. But I had to hide my eyes during several scenes of P's Lab. I think the difference is that this movie was set in a real time during a real war. Whether the Fauno was real or not I'll leave to conjecture.
I loved the movie. Absolutely loved it. I thought the blood/violence was integral to the plot, not just tacked on for shock value.

Haven't seen it but on Oscar night it won several awards! It is a fictional theme even though it may be graphic at times. Private Ryan on the other hand is quite different because that is realism not fiction. Realism, in itself, is frightening to me!
