A decent thriller but not very impressive

Rating: 5/10 (22 May 2020)

Orphan is a psychological horror movie directed by Jaume Collet-Serra and stars Vera Farmiga, Peter Sarsgaard, Isabelle Fuhrman, Jimmy Bennett, Aryana Engineer and C.C.H. Pounder in the leads.
Undoubtedly the movie is a good thriller movie with a mind blowing twist, but with some loopholes the movie doesn't impresses much. There is no doubt that the director is been able to hide the twist till the end of the movie and credit should be given to him for that.
There were some scenes which were illogical and should've been planned in a better way. Let's discuss few of them. How can someone just go and smother a patient in an ICU which is always monitored. When Daniel had seen Esther going away from his treehouse why he shouldn't went and check at the treehouse then and there and if not he could've went to his parents and informed them but in order to movie to progress this is been avoided and lastly can't understand why a main lead is always required to be killed by the hands of villain? Is collateral damage so important?
The acting is impressive and Isabelle is successful in getting her hate for her character. Vera Farmiga is been doing such movies quite regularly. The kids were amazing and Peter Sarsgaard was okay.
Screenplay is nice but is slow and some viewers can get bored. The movie could've been a good movie but for me it's an ok entertainer.
