Orphan

It seems like good movies come in waves. In the genre of horror/suspense this seems to be the case as well. After (surprisingly) enjoying "Drag Me to Hell" for the return to "classical" horror that it was, I was recently once again treated to a new, actually-good horror film.

Orphan manages to make you jump and feel suspensefully-uncomfortable even at times when you can think of no reason why you should feel that way. An intriguing premise, surprisingly-good child actors (particularly Isabelle Fuhrman), and an overall well done layout made for an enjoyable watch. Towards the end, this movie even (seemingly) pays homage to another modern horror classic.

7.75/10
