The Orphanage

This movie is beautiful.

I wish I had taken Spanish as my language course instead of French because Spanish is one of the most beautiful of the spoken languages and reading this movie destroys the experience. That being said, it was still wonderfully crafted.

Starting the movie, I had no idea what it was about-one of my friends said it was good. Good? Understatement. This movie creeped me out and the best part about it? There was no blood, smashed in heads; this movie was all about creeping into the cracks of the mind and using fear and imagination to scare the crap out of the audience. Now, I'm normally pretty good at figuring out the ending; however, this movie perplexed me. The twist was so out of the norm...and yet it fit so perfectly.

I rarely hear the word "sleeper" when it comes to movies, but I'd say this is one helluva sleeper-whether or not it made huge dollars at the theaters.
