There is something wrong with Orphan

Rating: 3/10 (1 July 2012)

I really liked the title sequence, and the mandatory twist ending was a cool one. However, the content between the title sequence and the ending was just uninspired. I had to turn the movie off several times, not because it was scary, but because it was irritating and predictable. One exception, though: the title sequence was okay. I know, I have already mentioned that, but I can't come up with much else that I liked, so I just mention the title sequence again: I liked the title sequence.
While the twist ending was good, it didn't have much connection with the rest of the movie. The ending could just as easily have been implemented in another story. In The Sixth Sense, the ending really made the entire story come together.
The movie is, obviously, about an evil child. The audience knows that. It is frustrating to wait one hour for character #1 to figures out that, by Golly, this is *indeed* an evil child, and then having character #2 deny it.
Some reviewers loves the film, which really baffles me. I don't have kids myself - I wonder if parents can relate better to this movie? If parenthood will ruin ones ability to distinguish between good and bad horror movies, it is obviously not worth it.
