Orphan has a plot twist that I did not guess (which is rare for this kind of movie), but
Spoiler:
this is only because it was so flipping preposterous. Even if "Esther's secret" had occurred to me earlier, I would have dismissed it from my mind as too absurd.
Spoiler:
sub-spoiler - Yes, I know that there are little people who might be able to pass themselves off as children, but really, a serial orphan? On her fourth or fifth house? And no one caught on?


I didn't hate it. I was glad to see a horror movie that wasn't about teenagers, that generated suspense by putting sympathetic characters into a terrible situation, and there are terrific performances all around.

But boy is it silly.
