Orphan (2009) Film Review

by Andrew on Aug.14, 2009, under Films, Reviews

The trailer makes this movie look like it will be similar to The Omen, which I guess it kind of is. However I thought it was a better film than that and possibly more believable once you know why the little girl is doing such horrible things.

The acting of the girl in this film (Isabelle Fuhrman) is absolutely phenomenal I thought and quite compelling to watch. It might even be oscar worthy I would have thought, not that this type of film usually gets nominations I would guess.

Some of the scenes are perhaps quite disturbing without getting too gruesome. Morever the suspense and slight horror feel are both maintained thoughout the film. A good film with a satisfying story line, nothing amazing I would say but definitely worth the watch.

7/10
