As a rule I just can’t take “scary kid” films seriously but there are exceptions to every rule and Orphan proves to be just that.
Kate (Vera Farmiga) and John (Peter Sarsgaard) decide to adopt after they lose their third child to miscarriage.
Enter Esther (Isabelle Fuhrman), a nine year old from Russia who seems like a very intelligent and caring little girl. Esther’s own agenda is slowly revealed through a fantastic and disturbing performance by Fuhrman who along with Farmiga rise well above the usual standard of acting in this type of film.
This is more of a thriller than a horror and is recommended if you enjoy your “scary” films with some thought behind them.
