shame about the language

Rating: 9/10 (1 March 2013)

Bone chilling terrors with a hint of the fantastic await audiences who dare to enter The Orphanage. Produced by Guillermo Del Toro, The Orphanage continues the tradition the filmmaker started with films like The Devil's Backbone and Pan's Labyrinth, by showing the darker sides of humanity through frightening fantasies. In many ways Spanish director Juan Antonio Bayona has applied Del Toro's own winning formula to The Orphanage and has made the most flawless film of this lineage. The bad point about the film was that it is in Spanish which makes you have to concentrate when you want to relax and watch it. The film has a very good, mysterious ending making it an all-round good film.
