Really creepy!!

Rating: 9/10 (22 February 2008)

I saw this movie recently in theaters and thought it really built up so well toward the ending...all the pieces click into place which is not easy to do with a thriller like this. The cinematography was beautiful and Belén Rueda (Laura) is so much the face and emotional current of the movie, that I would think it would be hard to keep us engaged for so long. She does though. I love movies like this because I think they are in that creepy thriller genre that can really going wrong but has the potential to go incredibly right if the suspense and tension is handled perfectly. Like in The Sixth Sense, El Orfanato pulls it off with precision. Great movie!!!
