| El Orfanato (The Orphanage)
For years I’d heard a lot about how George Sluizer’s Spoorloos (The Vanishing) was a classic horror film. Everything I’d heard about it—from its telling of a story through its characters, its sense of forboding, the way it played on your own personal fears—coloured me intrigued. I finally saw it two days ago and enjoyed it, no doubt, but it didn’t strike me as this classic horror film I’d been expecting. El Orfanato (The Orphanage) delivers in spades.
So take a little of Don’t Look Now, The Haunting, The Others and Ringu. Mix them up in with other ingredients, like the look of...

true, but when i speak Spanish i would, or at least attempt to pronounce things correctly. i just feel a bit silly pronouncing Spanish names etc correctly in a conversation in english feels like i'm trying to show off or correct the other person if they have already said it.

One of the English guys is called Dan.
Everyone speaks great English apart from the Welsh guy. He struggles to think of words at times. He's THAT fucking Welsh.

I loved it! Twice I was convinced that I had screamed out loud but i hadn't :P.
It's also great to see a film that has a proper ending!
Also i have a question but it'll give something away to people who haven't seen it, how do i do that hidden text?

10/10
Best thriller I have seen in a long time; very well written/clever story, and it made me jump at least twice.
I can't think of last time I even partially gasped at a horror flick, till now. The Orphanage reminded me why I became hooked on the genre in the first place.
Another one for the DVD collection m'thinks! | |
