| Re: El Orfanato I had misread the poster at first and assumed it was Del toro directing this, and in fairness, it's not a difficult mistake to make, as it's thematically and visually very similar to 'Devils backbone' and 'pan's labyrinth' excepting for the fascist spain background.
I was very impressed by this, didn't rely entirely on 'jumpy' moments for scares (though there were a fair few that caused my friend to nearly die as she leapt 9 feet out her chair), nigh on no cgi (that i noticed), great acting and a solid story.
Any american remake can go fuck itself. |
