Rock The Posts Day 21 : Orphan Review

I didn't want there to be too many photos in one post. That's why I'm doing the review separately :)

Anyway,I thought it was really good psychotic movie. Usually when it's lame & predictable, I can tell from the very beginning. This one however, was a suspenseful curiosity builder. A pretty gory one too. And at times, you feel like you wanna reach into the screen and slap the girl. Haha. Seriously!

The story revolves around this married couple, John & Kate with 2 kids. They were expecting a baby girl, but unfortunately ended up losing the unborn child. Culminating with the loss, they decided to adopt an elder child thinking it's the best way to heal & compensate for the loss.

So at the orphanage, of all the kids that were there, they noticed Esther, this 9 year old who seems different & doesn't socialize much with the others. However, very well mannered, matured, intelligent & very artistic.

When they first brought her to the house, everything seemed to be fine. Later on, however, an alarming series of tragic events begins to unfold, leading Kate to believe that something isn’t right—this seemingly angelic little girl is perhaps not what she appears to be.

I guess that's about all I should mention. Haha. Don't wanna spoil it for ya ;)
What I liked about the movie was the angles they used. You know at certain angle shots, there'll be something that'll make you jump out of your seats. Like scenes in a car, when you see that the window is conquering the screen vs. the person, you just know there's gonna be something or someone coming that way. They used a lot of that in this movie minus the seat jumping that comes after.

They used that angle-shot technique a lot, to keep the suspense going, which was a pretty good strategy? I've gotta tell ya, the ending is damn unexpected. Aside from the psychothic-ness, you would never expect THAT conclusion. I say, it's definitely worth watching :)

“I think a villain like this is interesting to watch,” states producer Joel Silver. “You wouldn’t want to see her in the real world, but it’s fun to see her in a movie.”

Not much of a movie critic, but I tried. Hahahh.
Till then ♥
