The Orphange(El Orfanato)


Guillermo Del Toro. Wow i was so impressed just by the begining credits. This guy is like the really dark and subtle version of Tim Burton. Although the film was not directed by him it had his presence through out every scene. The film is set on old orphange where Laura(Belen Rueda) was once an orphan, but now years later she has bought the house in hopes of trying to re-establish in some sense. However she does not realize that she is not alone in there. Her abducted son, who normally plays with two imaginary friends starts to befriend others which end up being far less imaginative than they previously thought. This movie by far is the creepiest film i have seen in a while, it had me wanting to look away at times, but still suck me in as if the television was an inescapable black hole. I gave this film a 9/10, prepare to be scared and completely creeped out, fyi this is 100 times more creepy than Pans Labyrinth.
