Wonderful piece of film making

Rating: 10/10 (2 May 2008)

I consider horror my favorite genre of film. This being said, there are far too many horrible scary movies compared to the numbers of worthy horror films. "The Orphanage" is the best horror film I have ever seen. Period. The mood; the feel; the atmosphere. It is all here in a film that will stay with you long after viewing it. The scenes with Geraldine Chaplin are frightening. The female lead is absolutely wonderful. The little boy is precious to behold on screen. Even if you aren't a horror buff, go see this film with an open mind. It will amaze you and have you leaving the theater saying "This is what going to the movie theater should be like." The frights are genuine thrills. The score subdued but effective. I have watched it three times already and cannot wait to view it again. One helluva good movie.
