Orphan

I totally hate this creepy poster. What's really annoying about movie goers is when they've already seen the movie and start ruining it before it starts and secondly, the people they're with ask questions. It's like "shut-up already!" I don't want to know what happens, thank-you very much. It's a scary movie and it's supposed to be a surprise. I have to say this movie left me feeling disturbed and unsettled, but no nightmares. Maybe the shading of the poster kinds of ruins it. Like any scary movie, you really can't say much because then you'll ruin it for someone else... like that horrible movie reviewer on CBC. Some how she always manages to ruin the plot twist, no matter how subtle she is. This movie is super creepy, and has elements or maybe the story itself is like a classic horror movie done in the 21st century and done well. I think I might even call it a bit of slasher, but it is also like a psychological-thriller and so it sits between the two genres very nicely. I don't know where they found the girl who plays Esther, but she's fantastic. Max the little girl in this is also has to be the cutest little girl. And as usual, Sarsgaard is amazing. Why the house in a horror movie is always remote is slightly annoying, but it's easy to overlook that cliche. This is a good movie.
