The Orphanage (El Orfanato)




This film could have been so much scarier, except maybe for Lissette who watched most of it from under her coat. It reminded me a lot of The Others, but I hate when I figure out most of the film in the beginning. Although there was one gory car accident scene that actually had a row of us cracking up. You know you've seen a lot of scary films when stuff like that is hilarious.

Wikipedia:
"The Orphanage (Spanish title: El Orfanato) is a 2007 Spanish horror film. It stars Belén Rueda as Laura, a woman who returns to the orphanage where she stayed for a period as a child. She purchases the house, with plans to turn it into a home for disabled children. Everything seems to be going well for Laura, her husband Carlos (Cayo) and their son Simón (Príncep). However, the parents soon realize their son has an imaginary friend and horror begins to unfold."
