The Orphanage
Rating: 8.5
Goodness me, it's creepy! The majority of the story is about discovery, and it's captivating. I don't know what it is about the Spaniards that makes them a little obsessed with the death of children but it's definitely a theme that isn't ever explored in American cinema. I'm sure it's got something to do with Catholicism. And what is it about European directors that allows them to get phenomenal performances out of children? This will forever perplex me.

Funny I just found out about this movie, was shocked to see it here. Europeans seem to feel less goopy soppy sentimental about kids or something. I'm skeptical about it being scary, but it does look good.
