The Orphanage is an intense, creepy ghost story, but one that is layered with emotion. Some moments will have you shrinking into your seat, while others will bring tears to your eyes. Well, not really, but there are definitely some sad moments. Any movie with ghost kids has great potential to scare the shit out of you, and these ghost kids can be awfully frightening. Guillermo del Toro presents this Spanish horror story, from director Juan Antonio Bayona, and the fairy tale like nature of The Orphanage ties with del Toro's own Pan's Labyrinth. The story is twisty enough to keep you guessing, and on repeat viewings there are opportunities to discover things you didn't notice the first time. Give it a chance, if not just for getting a horror film unlike most in Hollywood. Or at least since The Others.Genre - Horror (3.25)
