Movie Reviews of The Orphanage [Blu-ray]
Movie Review: One of the best Horror Films in Years
Summary: 5 Stars
As a huge (and long-time) horror buff stuck in an American film culture that seems content to rip-off and remake the best films of its past and the best films of other countries - this film has already been tapped for remake rights - I was really looking forward to seeing "The Orphanage". Moreover, if there is one thing I enjoy more than a good horror film, it's a great ghost story. "The Orphanage" is both a terrific horror film AND a superbly-crafted ghost story, and more than that, it is one of the best films of 2007.
Gorgeous, well-acted, and flawlessly scripted, "The Orphanage" is a bone-chilling ghost story, a throwback to more traditional haunted-house mysteries, that relies on well-crafted and perfectly executed psychological scares instead of CGI effects and cheap 'bump-in-the-night' jumps and jolts. This film has atmosphere to spare. It slowly crawls under your skin and lingers long after you have left the theater. Some of the scariest moments will indeed make you jump, but its the disturbing nature of the subject matter and the skill with which director Juan Antonio Bayona handles it that will stick with you. Every single plant has a payoff in this film, and no scene or even shot goes wasted. The story is gripping, and will have you on the edge of your seat, and the ending is strangely touching and truly haunting.
I cannot recommend this film enough to horror fans, it is a work of true brilliance.
