Labyrinth (1986)


Director: Jim Henson
Cast:  Jennifer Connelly, David Bowie, Christopher Malcolm
Genre: Fantasy

Plot: A young teenage girl wishes away her pestering kid brother to the Goblin king.

Another fantasy movie from the 80s focused primarily at a preteen audience.

Realizing she has just given away her young brother to Goblin king-Jareth (Bowie), Sarah (Connelly) takes up the challenge set by him to set him free again. She must enter a magical maze and find her brother within 13 hours else he will turn into a goblin forever. 

The movie has magic, goblins, sweet monsters, greedy dwarfs, fairies and a lot of other strange creatures. The make-up of most of the characters is...well poor, so is the set design. But Connelly is very pretty and more than makes up for all glitches with her fair act. 
Watch it for her!

6.8/10
