Movie Review #2 Orphan

    Now when I went to see Orphan I was with a friend and we had both already seen it, but the first time I saw it, I had fallen asleep, so it was great to see it again. I had heard Orphan was deeply disturbing, but for me I could SEE how people could interpret that, but I thought it was just a great movie! It was a little disturbing, but not VERY. And there were even parts that were really funny, and I don't mean when the nun gets hit in the face with a hammer. There were parts of the movie I missed the first time I saw it, and the first time I watched Orphan I would have given it a 6/10, but the more recent time I saw it, I'd give it much better than that.
    Orphan is actually very long for a horror movie with almost 2 hours, but you'll love every bit of it. Every moment is satisfying, and the scares all come simply from camera angle, or "jump" moments, the movie itself isn't "scary". Ok so anyways, the plot is basically this: A couple have two kids, and try for a third, who is stillborn. So they go to an orphanage to get a third child. They find a young girl named Ester, about the age of 9 or 10. She can sing and paint beautifully, and this really interests the couple, so they pick her. Ester is clearly from Russia, because of her heavy accent, so she dresses differently from American kids. The kids in her new school make fun of her, and one of them ends up having an unfortunate "accident". Basically bad things starts happening. The moment that gave me goosebumps was much later in the movie when the father makes a startling discovery in Ester's room, but you'll have to go see the movie for that.
     The acting was surprisingly good for a horror movie, much of it was believable, especially what happens in the movie is actually somewhat based on true events. This came out very recently, I think on June 24, so it may be in theater's some places still, so go and see it!!! One suggestion though, it's definitely rated R for a reason, but I'm not 17 and I was fine. BUT, DO NOT TAKE YOUNG CHILDREN. There ARE some disturbing bits in the movie, but they are needed to flesh out the story.

Rating: 10/10 [Must See (If you're into horror)]

This is definitely my favorite movie of this year, and probably my favorite horror movie of all time.

And don't worry, I'll get to the crappy movies in due time ;)
