Frightening but with some flaws

Rating: 8/10 (7 August 2008)

This movie had some really great shock moments and at times was very frightening indeed. You almost never had an idea what was bound to happen next. The only thing I found strange was that the disabled kids in the orphanage (around 1975 I believe that was), had really old fashoned looking braces. Looked more like from around 1900 to me. Also one of the disable children, Thomas, - being born in that period, they could easily have given him surgery. It seems a bit improbable to me that they would hide a child's face under a mask, like the elephant man, who lived from 1862- 1890. While this leaved me with a slight lost feeling, overall this was a very entertaining movie with a good pace and not to be watched after dark when you are alone!
