Well, as it turns out, we[...]

Orphan has become quite a fun, campy horror franchise over the course of the last 13 years, with the first film being released in 2009 and a recent prequel titled Orphan: First Kill dropping just last week Even though the film's unlikely prequel may have felt like the last chance to visit the character and the[...]

We've been talking about how exciting it will be to see the revival of the horror film Orphan with the upcoming prequel Orphan: First Kill, and one of the film's stars is equally excited.

Isabelle Fuhrman, star of the 2009 horror film Orphan, is stepping back into her role as the titular character, and according to the star, we should expect some shocking events.
