Del Toro meets Shyamalan

Rating: 8/10 (28 April 2008)

Following formulas always guaranties the "double your money" way of commercial movies. El Orfanato is no different; however, it is a nice treat for those who sympathize with Shyamalan and Del Toro's (exec.prod. on this one) work.
Screenplay is better than average and it holds tight all the way from the start.
In the end, the message is quiet clear for the ones who are aware of Karmas and catholic beliefs. The good thing is the association with those beliefs with social issues using universal feelings (somewhat lost nowadays).
A must "feel" movie!
