This creepy kiddy movie stars Isabelle Furhman and Vera Farmiga in a suspensful horror film.
After the loss of her child, a couple wants to adopt a new child when they discover they need to move on with their lives. The couple decide to adopt a little girl named Esther (Furhman) and introduce her to the rest of her family, a little deaf girl and a brother who thinks he’s all that. However, when bad things start to happen around Esther, she’s not what she seems to be.
This movie was a bit like the Ring 2. The whole, be my mommy thing comes into play as they mysteriosuly try to kill her but it doesn’t work because she is one step ahead. The horror is a bit horrific when Esther takes her little sister and kills a nun who she believes is trying to take her away. Not to mention a bird as well.
There are some funny moments as well as to not make the whole movie scary. Sexual jokes are involved making this an R rated film not to mention things get even weirder towards the ending you will never see coming.
Overall this film was pretty scary and there haven’t been any good ones in a while.

Orphan was a good movie to me but some of the plots were predictable and maybe this is because ive seen movies like this . Like the movie Alice Sweet Alice(1976 or 1977) which based on a not so much as the same story line but for the simple fact is the person who they thought were doing all the horrfic murders dressed as a little girl was actually an old lady .While watching Orphan i just thought of that movie . So far we havent had a good horror movie this year and this might have did it but who knows what they might come out with next
The acting was great though i give it 5 stars on the acting
