Editorial Review: Amazon.co.uk Review: Backed by Guillermo del Toro and yet made by a surprisingly inexperienced group of film makers (especially considering the end result), The Orphanage is a chilling, tense supernatural thriller that could certainly teach more established directors a thing or two about how to send shivers down the spine. It tells the story of a woman, Laura, returning to the orphanage where she was raised as a child. Her plans are to look after sick children there, but it doesn’t take long for things to go awry. Without giving too much away, visions from her past and a threat to her own family are the starting points for a complex and quite haunting thriller, that stays in the mind long after the credits have rolled. A film that works on more than one level, The Orphanage really is some piece of work. Juan Antonia Bayona, behind the camera, generates an incredibly atmospheric mood that underpins the film, and wisely takes time to put pieces in place. He’s aided by a terrific cast, and an unsettling screenplay that layers in an uneasy horror that’s as anti-Hollywood as it comes. The result of all of this is one of the scariest films of recent times, and yet something that still manages to be that little bit more, that sticks in your mind for some time afterwards. Make no mistake, The Orphanage really is something different, and all the better for it. --Jon Foster Customer Reviews
Average Rating:
 Rating:  - BETTER THAN PAN'S LABYRINTHA great movie. Unlike the misleading marketing campaign that suggested this would be a more overt, American-style horror ( yes, i did know it was Spanish ), this is what you would call a classic chiller, of a kind that you don't see much anymore. It doesn't rely on gore, or musical over-scoring, or any of the other things that lazy filmakers use to falsely build the tension. This is pure atmosphere, and the makers take their time developing it. Definitely more satisfying than the relentlessly downbeat 'Pam's Labyrinth'. You'll see what i mean. Rating: - incredible dark fairy tale for grown ups.Intelectual ghost story.This is a very clever film,but still easy to follow.Deep,dark,but not horror.I cried at the end.True genius,even better than pans lab. Rating: - A masterful piece of scary movieIf this is not a horror film, the director does nonetheless know exactly how to handle the tricks to capture the spectator's attention and make the tension reach unbearable heights. The music plays a great part in this "mise en scène" with a soundtrack which rapidly brings chiver to anyone. In addition, the photography is indeed remarkable: the settings are very favourable, and the way scenes unroll is just amazing. This film is undoubtedly worth watching. Rating: - Another truly brilliant film from Guillermo Del Toro!!!! Be scared!! you wont be disappointed!!!!The Orphanage - The Story Focuses on Laura, a young girl who was raised in the orphanage But then left as she was adopted. She returns as a grown woman with her husband and their young son Simon to the orphanage and have plans to turn the Orphanage into a home for sick and disabled children. Simon the young son has an illness and needs regular medication and invents imaginary friends, or are they imaginary? On the opening day of the reformed orphanage Laura stumbles on a strangely masked small child who and following this Simon her young son disappears. Days turn into weeks and there is still no sign of Simon - Where is he? Read More: Rating: - Brilliant, bittersweet, satisfying film - not for horror lovers thoughThis is a brilliant film, up there with his "Pan's Labyrinth" and even better than "Devil's Backbone" which it in some ways resembles - a ghost story involving a children's home. A film about the fierce love between parent and child, which transcends death. I loved the bittersweet ending. It is not a horror film, so if you like horror movies, choose something else. |
