Synopsis: The tragic loss of their unborn child has devastated Kate and John, taking a toll on both their marriage and Kate's fragile psyche as she is plagued by nightmares and haunted by demons from her past. Struggling to regain some semblance of normalcy in their lives, the couple decides to adopt another child. At the local orphanage, both John and Kate find themselves strangely drawn to a young girl named Esther. Almost as soon as they welcome Esther into their home, however, an alarming series of events begins to unfold, leading Kate to believe that there's something wrong with Esther--this seemingly angelic little girl is not what she appears to be. Concerned for the safety of her family, Kate tries to get John and others to see past Esther's sweet facade. But her warnings go unheeded until it may be too late...for everyone.

Great movie

Overall I liked the "twist" of the story. Everyone would have just thought she was a "bad seed" or a ghost. But this was not the case at all. I really enjoyed the film.
One of the scenes I loved the most is when Esther got slapped in the hospital. I wanted to slap her! Also towards the end, where it started to reveal her true self.

I thought it was really intriguing when she started to show here real age. The movie was really slick. I really enjoyed.

Best suspense movie I have seen in a while. KSomething were kinda goofy and unbelieveable, but the way it twisted and wrapped up in the end made it a great must see movie.

I thought this movie was pretty decent. I think that the acting was great! The twist in the end really got me. I knew something was up with the dental records but never imagined an ending like that! Well done for a horror.

I agree...even though at one point, and I'm pretty sure that everyone thought of this too, that this has already been done. Yet, the twist is great, the plot is simple, the visual were great (esp. with the art), and over all was a great watch. Just try to avoid sitting by a screamer at the theaters.

This move really caught me by surprise. I really didn't have very high expectations going in but it had very good suspense and the climax was a totally unexpected.

I really like the movie. So many of the recent horror movies have been the same rehash this movie really had an unpredictable unexpected twist. Plus the girl who played the orphan gave an incredible performance. Most of the child actors today are horrible. This child really has a future in the acting profession.

liked the adult humor that was incorporated into a scary movie decent movie but some bad acting like when the husband cried it was terrible

Good movie. It is funny and good to watch. It is a horror movie with some funny parts. I like how it keep making you guess why she is crazy.

I believe this movie is great. A real rollercoaster ride. Right from the first scene you know its not going to be a normal family fun kinda movie. I'm still keeping my teddy bear close at night when I go to sleep. This is not a movie for those who think the economy is the only thing wrong with todays society.

lacietech 7 months, 2 weeks ago (Hide)(Show)
I liked the scene where the adoptive mother slaps esther in the hospital.

I think the best scence was when Esther's secret was revealed and the pace of the movie picked up.

While some scenes were predictable, overall Orphan is gripping, good entertainment and I'd recommend it to friends.
