Orphan - 2009 * * * 1/2


The posters for this movie claim that you will never guess her secret. That is for sure. I didn't, and I've seen a lot of horror films. However there are many parts of this film that leave you speechless because they are SO unlikely. A couple who lose their baby decide to adopt a 9 year old called named Esther. Esther is perfectly nice but also very mysterious, wearing out-dated clothes and knows far more about sex than a girl of her age should. Naturally the mother becomes suspicious, but the father is not having any of it seemingly totally enthralled by the girl. One thing is for sure, bad things happen around Esther, people get hurt, and there are even rumours that children in the orphanage she used to live in became involved in accidents when she was present.
Go on, watch this film and try and guess her secret, you never will.
PS This is the second horror film where the husband is a total b****ard ( first was Farmhouse)
