A Wonderful Ghost Story

Rating: 10/10 (23 December 2010)

Wow. I have waited a twenty-some years for another great ghost story. Ever since I saw THE CHANGLING (1980 - starring George C. Scott) I have longed for another movie that could make me feel the way that movie did. Some have come close, but THE ORPHANAGE is the first to really do it.
Clearly this is not a slash and gore film. No sex scenes, no half clothed twenty-somethings running through the woods/hallway/whatever until they fall and are slaughtered, no swearing; none of the cliché horror tactics (not to say this is all not fun in the right movie). This is classic and tasteful and will leave you both thinking about it and retaining feelings about it long after the movie ends.
