The Orphanage



The Good:
As with Pan's Labyrinth, Guillermo Del Toro's hand can be felt touching this piece. It was beautiful. The colors were rich even in their darkness. The music and sound were crystal clear. The story was solid and the actors always hit their mark.

The Bad:
This was billed as a horror movie and it really wasn't scary at all.

Over all:
If you liked Lady in the Water then you'll like The Orphanage. I went into this expecting a horror movie. What I got was a beautifully done reinterpretation of the Peter Pan fairy tale. I was not disappointed at all.
