Truly scary little girl Excellent Horror/Thriller

Rating: 10/10 (14 August 2009)

I haven't seen a good horror/thriller film in a while and this movie kept me on the edge of my seat the entire ride, the plot was fairly realistic and even more so when the clever plot twist is thrown in at the end which ties the whole thing together. Excellent acting from the Isabelle Fuhrman playing Esther the orphan girl. She played her role well very mature for her age and sweet and innocent when need be... I think the comparisons made to Natalie Portman's performance in "The Professional" and Kirsten Dunst in "Interview with a Vampire." is very accurate. (As stated on her IMDb biography trivia page). I wouldn't recommend this movie for younger audiences there was a lot of violence and it was a scary movie with a couple of sexual scenes in it but I will say it did have a twisted sort of "happy"-ish ending where it didn't leave me feeling depressed about the way things turned out but it wasn't some unrealistic everything is cheery either. Overall thumbs up!!
