yuck

Rating: 3/10 (2 August 2009)

I am a huge fan of horror from The Exorcist to Cujo, but "The Orphan", in my opinion, misses the genre of "horror" and instead registers within the range of obtuse and disgusting. The first scene left me feeling nauseas and the sexual advances, of a character that we originally believed to be a child, felt like kiddie porn. There was no real "scary" moments in this movie nor did I feel like this movie brought anything new to horror pictures. Instead the film was filled with ridiculous sex scenes and predictability. I mean come on. If you know your children are upstairs do you really think it appropriate to have intercourse in the kitchen. Only someone with the IQ of room temperature would do that... oh yea, I guess that explains the writing in this film. I'm sorry, but I feel that horror fans have been short changed once again.
