Reviews

La famiglia Coleman ha un vuoto incolmabile. Nonostante due figli e una situazione economica solida un aborto ha lasciato una ferita e la risposta sembra essere l'adozione della piccola Esther, bambina di circa 12 anni che li folgora all'orfanotrofio con il suo acume e il suo candore. Una volta con loro però accadono tanti piccoli incidenti ed Esther è sempre al centro dei problemi non nascondendo ai fratelli acquisiti il suo istinto malvagio e i piani precisi dietro ogni mossa. La preoccupazione è tale che i genitori decidono di informarsi sul suo passato ma all'orfanotrofio non hanno informazioni su di lei precedenti il suo arrivo.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good Old fashioned Horror. 1 Dec 2009
Format:DVD
Lately I find with a lot of horror films the only suspense is guessing who will die next. Usually, it is not that difficult. However, Jaume Collet-Serra has directed a more intelligent film for aficionados of this genre to enjoy.

It starts when recovering alcholic Kate (Vera Farmiga) and her husband John (Peter Sarsgaard) decide to adopt a child. They already have a son and a profoundly deaf daughter but a stillbirth has left an emptiness in Kate's life. They visit a local orphanage run by a group of nuns where they meet Esther (Issabelle Fuhrman), a girl from Russia whose background is largely unknown. The couple fall for Esther's angelic charm so Sister Abigail facilitates a remarkably quick adoption.

Unfortunately, over time it becomes apparent "THERE'S SOMETHING WRONG WITH ESTHER."

Esther begins to terroise other children and then the family. Despite Kate's misgivings John remains blissfully unaware of Esther's psychopathic tendencies and instead blames Kate. Kate meanwhile, tries desperately to protect her own children. A twist in the tale, which you can kind of guess at but not quite, eventually reveals all.

In the best of traditions, this film gradually notches up the tension to its climax. Fuhrman is genuinely creepy as Esther. If I were to make a critism of the film it would be that it could have been edited just a little bit more, and that the concept of a cynical lead male character not seeing what is under his nose is something of a cliche. However, this film packs enough suspense and scary moments to make it worth watching.

5.0 out of 5 stars If you felt let down by Let Me In... 3 May 2011
Format:Blu-ray
If you felt Let Me In was a subpar remake of Let The Right One In then give this movie a go. It's made by Dark Castle, one of my favourite modern horror movie makers. The acting and pacing is phenominal. The characters are well fleshed out and character development doesn't just add to the engagement to the movie but also plays into parts of the plot. It also has one of the best twists ever.

The bluray shines for most of the movie but in some parts the image isn't as crisp as you'd expect, but for the most part it's beautiful. A good, deep modern horror movie, this movie starts off nice and peaceful (except for the creepy opening) but slowly rachetes up the tension and creepy. Information about the characters is given out in little bites like a good TV series, allowing you to figure out what peoples hang ups are all about before eventualy having them revealed. It's a fairly long movie, bit over 2 hours, but the length is filled with substance not just drawn out suspense scenes.

And ontop of all that, it's got a really cheap pricetag, even for an Australian like me with the exchange rate.

Special features include a 14 minute making of, which gets more interesting halfway through when it starts refering to the history of scary kid movies, some of which i'll have to track down. There are a couple of interviews as well with cast and crew, and deleted scenes and alternate ending (which are interesting but it's clear why they were cut as they add little to the movie and would have dragged it), and a trailer.

BUY IT with confidence

4.0 out of 5 stars Blu-Ray Chiller From The Depths Of Hell! 18 Feb 2011
Format:Blu-ray
Any film opening with a dream sequence is usually on to a loser in my general opinion, and that's what I thought might happen in this case after I took a small gamble picking it up on disc having not seen it before. The film is about a couple who lose a child and later adopt one from an orphanage, the new arrival turning out to be quite a creepy thing with motivations that clearly don't fall within the realms of normality. The dream sequence therefore takes on some meaning; the mother appears to lose a child in birth, and is then granted a monster. Considering the film is two hours it's consistently gripping and builds up an atmosphere of terror, aided by excellent performances from all of the leads. Esther, the orphan of the title, is one of cinema's most frightening individuals (much more so than Freddy or Jason!) and by the end of the story just imagining this demonic person sends a chill through your blood. This is what horror is all about.

The Blu-ray Disc presents a very natural full-HD image with high detail, low levels of grain, realistic colours, and well balanced contrast. Two audio options are provided as uncompressed stereo or DTSHD MA 5.1 surround, both of which are subtle and enveloping. A reasonable number of extras come in the form of interviews, featurettes and deleted scenes.

Overall I think it was worth watching Orphan in HD as opposed to on DVD (especially at the price it's currently available, but even at twice as much I wouldn't have felt cheated): the clarity of the image and the strength of the story really gripped for two hours and this is a great buy.
