Spanish horror thats both creepy and excellent story!

Rating: 10/10 (22 March 2008)

Watched this film last night and had high hopes on it as most reviews I read are very positive.I can say I am not disappointed.El Orfanto(The Orphanage)is truly an amazing Spanish chiller thats in my opinion even better than the excellent Pans Labyrinth.Laura goes back to here childhood home with her husband Carlos and adoptive son Simon.Laura was as a child living at an orphanage and now have plans to restart it again.Soon things starts to happen.Simon here son speaks about he got new friends,but Laura & Carlos never see any.I will not give away anything more about the plot,but I can say its a damn good horror film thats both creepy&Atmospheric.Excellent acting and truly near Oscar performance by Belen Rueda as Laura.Music soundtrack is great and scary.The Director J-A-Bayona does a good job and the film is beautifully shot.Even my girlfriend who don't like horror-films and thinks they are most silly thought it was scary as hell.Many times she had a pillow over here face.Maybe not anything if you only like horror-films like Hostel&Saw,but if you like me also can see horror movies without any blood and gore you probably like it.I Highly recommend it and give it full points 10/10.
