Excellent Spanish horror film....

Rating: 8/10 (25 November 2009)

I have just watched the horror film (El Orfanto) The Orphanage this evening and i found it to be an excellent Spanish horror film. It is about a woman called Laura who was a former orphan who raises her adopted son Simón with her husband Carlos in an old house and former orphanage where Laura was raised. Simón tells Laura that he has five invisible friends, but she believes that they are all in his imagination. Laura decides to reopen an orphanage for handicapped children in the location where she used to live. During the opening party, for the children to welcome them to the house. Simón calls her to show her the cabin where his friend Thomas is. Then she sees a masked boy and Simón vanishes. Laura feels the presence of other persons in the house and months later, Laura invites a team of parapsychologists to the house to try to find out what is happening. I thought that this was an excellent horror film with stunning scenery, and i thought that it was one of the best foreign films that i have seen for a long time. 8/10
