Fun at times, predictable from start to finish

Rating: Null/10 (10 January 2010)

Overall, this movie was okay and did hold our interest for the most part.
The plot was however very predictable with the usual dumb moves on the part of the hapless victims. I kept saying to myself "Yeah, buddy, don't listen to the women you've been married to for ten plus years and had children with. Take the side of the obviously weird kid who just came into your lives". And don't say to yourself "Gee, I wonder why our new little girl goes nuts when someone wants to touch her neck ribbon or mentions going to the dentist ?". There were so many illogical story devices used in this film. But, if you like stories about dumb adults and killers who take advantage of their total stupidity this should please you. IMHO, 'The Good Son' was a much better example of this type of film.
'Orphan' was at least watchable and did have it's moments now and then. Sadly, I was hoping for something much better based on the comments I'd seen here. The film is way over-rated. There is nothing new in it.
