Orphan (2009) Horror Movie Review

The Orphan is a pretty bizarre horror movie. This tale is designed to turn people off from adoption. Now, onto the story. A couple had a still life baby. The wife got really depressed. To make matters worst, the wife lost her womb with her baby. As such she became infertile. To preserve the memory of her lost baby, she buried his ashes in a pot. She then grew some plants out of her baby's ashes.




As time passes, the family decides to adopts a kid. They go to adopt a girl in a Catholic orphanage ran by nuns. While looking through the kids, the husband wonders off. He meets a cute girl named Esther, who is painting. She painted some cute tiger cubs and their mom. The husband liked Esther a lot. He introduced her to his wife.

After this brief intro, the Orphan Esther is taken home. Its not as if the couple did not have any kids. They already had two children. One is a boy and the other a deaf girl. This adoption procedure is a bit unusual. Usually, families adopt either babies or children younger, than their kids. The fact that the girl was older, than blood children, was the first mistake this family made.

The second mistake was that they got the girl that looked too good to be true. Considering how everything turned out, one should not judge appearance. Long story short, Esther is a complete psycho. She specially likes to torment her adopted mother. Esther does get along with her adopted father. The reasons why are really messed up. In any case, the Orphan is a 5 stars worthy horror movie.
