The Orphanage - Or why I am crippled with fear.

[Rich]

Did you see this?

Oh man.

Did you?

Holy crap.

I don't want to overhype it, but I will just the same.  I couldn't sleep last night because of this thing.

If you like movies, you should see this.

I have no idea why my cinema's getting it Friday.

But maaaan, am I ever happy my cinema's getting it Friday.

[Rich]

Mr. Donnacha, you are both lucky....and DOOOOOOOMED.

[Donnacha]

I'm just back from watching this.

I cannot urge you strongly enough to find the nearest place you can see this film with a sold-out crowd. It's beautifully told, beautifully shot and beautifully twisted. It takes every cliche you were ever sick of and shows off just how well the old cinema tricks can work.


Just how nifty is this poster? Look at it!

Damn, damn, damn good stuff. I can't wait to see it Saturday night at the local cinema, which has a large latino clientele - I want to see this with a packed house.

This.

Movie.

Is.

Fine.

[Strang]

It seems kind of like a reverse Lost Boys (not The Lost Boys, jerk, the Orson Scott Card book.) Regardless, it's kind of just a fairly well done recent American horror movie.  In fact, I believe Ghost Whisperer did this story in one of its early episodes.

I can't wait for America to remake this with Ashley Judd and Elle Fanning.

diggin the poster with the 80's awful mexican direct-to-video look.

It was decent.  Maybe I was misled by the trailers, but it really wasn't that scary.  The lead was pretty hot too.

Wow. I'm not usually prone to jump in a movie theater but there were two times in this film where I thought I was going to have a friggin' heart attack, I literally launched out of my seat. And from then on I was in an extreme state of anxiety hoping it wouldn't happen again. Good stuff all round.
