Oh, my. iSm's already recommended it, but I heartily agree. The Orphanage was a wonderful, wonderfully creepy film. Both Tom and I were tied up in tension, almost the whole time. I thought that the narrative structure, the echoing elements throughout, the whole screenplay in general, was really top-notch. I'll have to see how it weathers with me, but some of the imagery is definitely still with me today. It definitely is toe-to-toe with, for instance, The Others, but for atmospheric quality and tension, I would even compare it with Rosemary's Baby.
I'd pre-emptively made a personal top ten list of films of 2007 yesterday morning, but I'm having to reconsider it after seeing that last night.
