Orphan

Review By : Amiya Ranjan Chakraborty

OFF THE HOOK

Horror is my favorite movie genre. First I thought Orphan is going to be another typical horror movie, but I was dead wrong, as the film progressed I realized that this was quite a well made masterpiece.. It relies heavily on suspence rather than gore. Though There are a few gory deaths in the movie.

This movie is ballsy, not afraid at all to take risks or make you feel completely hopeless. I had no idea what was going to happen next at any turn in this movie, everything was shot in the dark and masterfully suspenseful. And yeah, of course the kid is evil, but she's built up in a way that makes you like her and feel sorry for her at first - something that even a good movie like Omen didn't do.


The acting is well-done. Vera Farmiga plays the no-nonsense mother. Peter Sarsgaard plays the clueless, loving father. Isabelle Fuhrmann plays the orphaned girl, and was really creepy. Specially the acting Isabelle Fuhrmann who playes the role of the girl was just off the hook.

Overall, if you are a gore hound, you will be a little dissatisfied. If you are a horror fan who doesn't care about scar face ghost or gory deaths and poorly edited horror flicks then u love this.

My Rating: 9/10
