Not your typical Post-1980s horror movie

Rating: 10/10 (25 December 2009)

I'll admit I was a bit skeptical believing all the hype about this movie. I've had very little interest in watching horror films that have come out in the past couple of decades, as they're all virtually the same. Blood, sex, and no plot recycled with a new title over and over again. Orphan was different.
Although from the beginning you don't really fall in love with Esther, you really have no idea until the tail end of the movie when it's revealed where she's really coming from. I really enjoyed this movie, and would give kudos to the girl who played Esther; she's got a bright future ahead of her.
