The Orphanage is a Spanish film (this means subtitles for those who don't speak Spanish) from director Juan Antonio Bayona (Pans Labyrinth). A couple raising their young son in a former orphanage begin to experience strange events starting with their sons adoption of imaginary friends, the appearance of an unknown masked child, and finally the disappearance of their son. The ensuing search leads to the unraveling of the mysterious, and horrifying history of the orphanage, and a conclusion which will leave you guessing till the end.
The Orphanage is a genuinely creepy, frightening film... one of very few to have come out in recent years in which all out gore-fests have been largely favored over suspense and scariness. Definitely recommendable for fans of psychological horror, suspense, and ghost stories. Check it out, it's worth reading the subtitled for.
5 dead guys out of 5.
Rated 18A/R for some disturbing content.
