Orphan and mean

Sometimes we think we have all seen in the horror film genre with an adopted child to strange behavior. Possessions, demons, aliens ... and then you realize that the writers can still surprise us with little Esther.

The Orphan (Orphan) is a film with no household name in the credits (Vera Farmiga, Peter Sarsgaard play the parents). Yet all is perfect: directors, actors, music ...

Kate and John to go to the orphanage to choose a new child after the death (just before birth) of their third baby. John was immediately attracted to this girl alone, Esther. It is unfortunately not as wise as it seems.

I think the choice of the child from an orphanage in the group brings to mind the choice of a small dog in a store after losing his own, but ... if it goes like this.

Esther is an adopted girl who freezes the blood, but in this film everything is realistic. No supernatural intervention is not to explain his behavior. It is only very mature and very intelligent.

Only the reaction of the father John, who refuses to believe his wife, slightly spoil the story so far well built.

IMDb Average: 7.4 / 10. My rating: 7 / 10.

I put 8 if I was not bored at 2 or 3 passes too slow. The outcome is very much in the originality of this film. Overall a pleasant surprise.
