The Orphanage

I watched this on Saturday night and can very highly recommend it. I'm no fan of slash and cut films, I far prefer subtle horror. If you feel the same way then find this film and watch it

I've never heard of it before! Is it a small-production, or just a foreign (although, not foreign for you) release...? I want to see if I can find it now! What is it about, basically?

An old dark creepy ex orphanage which has been bought by one of the former orphans and her husband. I cant tell you anymore sweetie! It's by the same person who did Pans Labyrinth! Well worth it!

Apparently The Orphanage is part of a trilogy with Pan's Labyrinth and The Devil's Backbone.

It always amazes me that the man who made Hellboy also made Pan's Labyrinth.

You know, I've been meaning to watch that. Just from the previews it reminded me of Saint Ange (a paranormal movie about a pregnant woman who gets a job in an orphanage and discovers the orphanage's dirty old secret).

I actually have that film in my dvd collection but haven't got round to watching it yet, might do tonight if i'm not too tired. lol

We watched the Devils Backbone on Saturday night. I cant say too many good things about it. Beautifully filmed and just so creepy. It drags you right in and twists and turns throughout. We both ended up sitting there blubbing

I checked and re-checked. He has a remarkable breadth of vision. I will be fascinated to see what he does with "The Hobbit".
