Just Love It
I have been absent from my schedule like 3 months as my laptop broke. I couldn't watch any horror films in that period. But, when I got a new one, I said to myself to make me get into my habit with a very interesting horror film. That's right, it is Orphan. I have been so wondering when I was gonna watch this film and the day has arrived folks!
I wanna say that this film has been really good, but the thing is that Esther is a bit annoying character and also John. But, that's what it makes the story. The story is good, the emotions pass to the viewers and has a lot of mystery. I should've watched this earlier, I wish. I recommend it. - jimbt-94880 - 27 November 2023
Good twist, great performance from Furhman, predictable ending
This not a scary film by any means but it does really well to build the suspense and culminates with a great twist. Unfortunately after the twist the ending is quite predictable and disappointing. Would have loved the directors to have taken the ending a different way to keep Esther alive, that way they easily could've made a sequel. I guess that's why they made a prequel instead.
It's just way too predictable when the main protagonist, aka the Mother, survives with the children. If this were a true thriller/horror all of them would've died. That would get people talking, not many films have the guts to go that angle and we know what a sick world we live in so wouldn't be too unrealistic.
