Orphan Has One Of The Best Twists In All Of Horror
The first film is an all-timer, featuring great performances and a hell of a twist that I will not spoil here if you do not already know what it is. The tragic loss of their unborn child has devastated Kate (Vera Farmiga) and John (Peter Sarsgaard), 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 (Isabelle Fuhrman). 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 is something wrong with Estherâ. 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 Esthers' sweet facade. But her warnings go unheeded until it may be too late for everyone.
I am down for another one, especially since that creative team is back. First Kill wasn't quite as good as the first orphan film, but it was a solid watch. Build off of that, and you might have something here.
