When I was around 4 years of age, my parents let probably what they assumed would be a perfectly fine kids fantasy film, babysit me for a few hours. One of my earliest memories is the constant nightmares that followed this viewing. In discussions in the years since, it seems that many people of a similar age had much the same experience. 20 years on, Labyrinth holds up pretty well and I am glad to say that this viewing of the Bu-ray version was a lot less traumatic. In fact, I enjoyed it quite a bit.

When Sarah (Jennifer Connolly) in a fit of anger, summons Jareth, the Goblin King (David Bowie) to take away her troublesome brother, she’s surprised when he actually substantiates in her bedroom and whisks him away. If she doesn’t mount a recovery effort within the next 13 hours, he will be gone forever. The issue is; her brother is in the middle of the Labyrinth, an intricate maze of puzzles and goblins and creatures faithful to Jareth who want to see her fail in her quest...
