Intense and brilliant

Rating: 9/10 (4 August 2009)

This was a great movie, top to bottom. The acting is superb all around, especially Esther! For such a young girl she really sells the whole evil orphan thing just as well as the sweet innocent girl she pretends to be. The movie grabs your attention right from the start and keeps it for the entire length of the film.
It's not, however, like "Omen" or other evil-child movies. It's not really even a horror movie as there's not a lot of genuine scares in it but it does keep a delicious high-tension vibe and a ton of fake outs. If you're expecting a jump-out-of-your-seat hack and slash horror movie, this isn't it but if you're looking for a drama that will raise your heart rate and make you bite your nails you won't be disappointed!
