It's an okay film sticks to the usual "evil child" plots If there's anything truly horrifying it's the creepy dad, so unwilling to listen to his wife's concerns And I have to admit I didn't see the "twist" coming

The production values are fine, the cast very good (you really shouldn't squander your considerable talent on subpar material like this, Vera) but what derails it are the overfamiliar individual scenes: menacing child / smothering in hospital bed by way of pillow / trapped in freezing water under the ice; the list goes on and on. It's lenghty, too, and so by the time the film arrives at its off-the-rails, ill-conceived twist, you probably won't care one bit how lame it is. Don't waste your time.

kind of like an update of "the good son", only with a more menacing antagonist that does some actually creepy stuff. problem is that a cute twelve year old girl isn't actually scary, and i ended up rooting for her. i'd really like to see more of isabelle fuhrman in the future--she did a great job.

This movie really blew me out of the water. I'm not a fan of slow moving tension building horror movies, but to me, this was how it should be done. The kid actors in this movie really did a better job than most child actors now a days. As for Esther, I've never hated a movie villain like I did with her. At one point I even said what a bitch. That's how much I got into it. Very intense and well built up. I just couldn't wait to see what was going to happen next and that twist caught me.

I'm not really the target for movies like this since my attitude is "Well, yes of course you should be scared. Of course she's a homicidal monster. She's a child!" Anyway, I prefer my poor-set-upon-by-evil-families in horror movies to be decent people, not recovering drunks and philanderers, who were basically just asking for trouble. And I can't decide whether the plot-twist was really dumb or really good, but it did manage to gross me out.

Orphan is a fascinating thriller, one which will hopefully convince you that there is such a thing as good child acting. Isabelle Fuhrman is excellent in her role as Esther, and brings the character to life. Her character, as well as the characters of her adoptive parents, is interesting, and there are enough issues with each one to make you care for them. You hope to see them make it through to the end, even if you don't see a way that they will.

The problem with this one for me is, that I can comprehend her behaviour. Maybe it's that "sympathy for the devil" thing, but she is not like samarra in ring or damien in omen she is not the antichrist. Getting teased in school and to punish those who did this day after day isn't evil it is justice. So "Orphan" isn't very thrilling it is a drama, but not a good one.

Neither good, nor bad. The first time you see Esther you're not manipulated to think, "What a sweet, charming child that likes to make a difference." You think, "Well, she is so fucked." Or, in truth, that is her plight: she isn't. Must be hard getting it on with someone when her little ass lies only two inches from the floor. But I was with her all the way in butchering the husband. What a dick. Oh, well, that's the glory of love!

Well above average for a contemporary thriller, Orphan benefits from having some extraordinary actors in the lead roles, a tight script that makes time for engaging character development, and good production design. It remains believable and interesting even when it presents us with cliche and goes a bit far-fetched, because of those strengths. It also presents a creepy kid personality and a creepy kid twist I'd never seen before. It almost seems to run out of gas at the end, though.

Watching Orphan, I had the impression of having seen this same story a thousand times. The film is well acted and has a tense atmosphere. But it is insufficient to be considered a good movie. The story could be better exploited, to have something more creative than simply an evil character.

The newborn baby of the Omen and Problem Child. A creepy, unexpected, dark and evil thriller with a difficultly inconvenient, ponderously blundering and degrading twist. All of that foreboding and suspicion and she turns out to be an...aaargh! Weak. Other than that, Orphan is a nerve-racking and primordially pristine film with both minor and major flaws within its plotline. I guess you could say I liked it.

It's strange... Orphan isn't even a bad movie. It's actually rather disturbing. While it's marketed like a slasher--and I guess to an extent it is--the plot of the film and the twist that reveals what's "wrong with Esther" is really creepy and unexpected. I don't know how I feel about this movie because I left really unhappy and put off by the story but I guess the fact that it made me feel anything than pity for a bad movie was better than I expected. After all, I'd recommend it.

This is a pretty solidly constructed little horror thriller. It's not startlingly original ... sort of "The Omen" meets "The Bad Seed" ... but it's well acted by Farmiga, Sarsgaard and especially Fuhrman, who although only 10 years-old, really sells a creepy "older than her supposed years" vibe. The final twist is ... something.

Both Farmiga and Fuhrman's acting was superb. While the twist itself might not be shocking or smart, but the way it is slowly revealed through her obscene behavior creates a very uneasy feeling, which is a good thing for a movie like this. And bonus point for the cathartic ending.

Orphan is one of those movies that surprised the hell out of me. I cared about the characters which is hard to say about most of the movies in the genre. I also enjoyed the dynamic between the three children as well. There are some stretches though that are pretty boring which is why it isn't scored higher.

Orphan is surprisingly watchable and much better than I anticipated. The premise is certainly engaging with a brooding & eerie Omen vibe. But a lack of imagination derails the final third of the film. The plot deteriorates dramatically and the 'big reveal' is a weak and somewhat foreseeable twist. Peter Sarsgaard & Vera Farmiga both give incredibly paint by numbers performances. But to be fare Isabelle Fuhrman is much more engaging and disturbing than I expected.

Unexpectedly solid psychological horror/thriller that works well to slowly build up a sense of fear. The director has clearly done his homework and pays effective homage to past masters in this genre. He's helped by a strong cast, especially the kids who are a cut above the usual level of child acting. It's let down by one of the most non sequitur twists I've seen in ages that had me laughing throughout the dramatic finale.

Profoundly demented and dark. It's unrepentant cruelty is extremely difficult to watch, but it's so succinct in laying the emotional groundwork early on that it is deeply effective.

Ohhh.. creepy kids, you cant beat 'em! ... Whilst this is pretty slow paced, the suspense and tension rarely lets up, even if the story is pretty predictable, and extremely formulaic, with a healthy dose of horror "cliche" pre-requisites; screwed up mother, stupid grandma, inconsiderate husband, know-all shrink. Fuhrmans acting is superb, however... and whilst the exposition of the film is poor, it doesnt really spoil the enjoyment. If you havent seen the film, dont read up about it beforehand

Good production values and fine performances by Sarsgaard, Farmiga & Fuhrman elevate a substandard script. The extent of the orphan's evil nature is given away too soon, elimating any suspense which had been building up nicely until that point. We are left with a competent trod through some "evil child movie"-clichés, a far fetched if not unoriginal twist that is related to us by a character explaining everything, and a boring, protracted violent finale.

The old "creepy child" ploy, eh? It is, in fact, quite creepy and disturbing. It should be too obvious, the explanation should be too preposterous, but they play it so straight you find yourself wondering if it's not just all a misunderstanding - obviously a child who dresses like a cartoon villain can't be really bad, right? The director has studied his early Cronenberg (particularly The Brood) and it's carried by the creepiest child actor performance I've seen since Let The Right One In.

Although it didn't thrill that much for a thriller, it did have a decent atmosphere of suspense. It made me watch until the end and satisfied me somehow. The script earns the description "suspense". (That's all I can tell without giving spoilers.) This won't be that great thriller which makes you jump every other second, nor will you, after watching it, run around telling people how great it was. But it is a decent enough choice for a thriller, even if it's not the best choice.

Can't understand so many scores above average 60-70 points. What's different in this movie that's not in many productions of last decade. It's straight, simple, almost trivial, with lots of blood (typical for american productions), no atmosphere, pretty common roleplay... History repeats itself again - it only proves that majority shouldn't be a point of my view - my bad. Spanish "Orphanage" is hundred times more worth watching than this time waster. Not recommend unless you have too much time.

Some OK acting and dialogue early on gives way to a pedestrian genre movie.

Starts out as a decent little thriller in the spirit of Omen or recent Joshua, but quickly turns into cliche ridden crap-fest. The last act is simply offending intelligence of anyone who watches this film.

The ending made this movie. Never see it coming and a bit funny.

Decent acting and directing and a screenplay so bad it hurts to watch it.

I wanted to see this *because* I'd read the internet spoilers (which are basically true, by the way). But I found the plight of the mother and her tension with her husband to be interesting and suspenseful; only the last, say, 15 to 20 minutes were genuinely horrible.

Starts out chilling and eerie, but slowly loses its way and becomes too predictable. The big twist was just plain awful.

Better than I thought it would be. Setting my expectations low was a good choice. The movie ended up exceeding my expectations. Not as good as The Omen but I still found it to be an exciting and entertaining horror film. Worth watching for horror fans.

The only thing that messed this movie up was the horrible plot twist. Also, they did not go into enough depth about how the woman's baby died.

Heard good things about Orphan, but I was surprised by just how great it was. The movie has a solid plot, solid visuals, and a solid cast. I was drawn into the story despite having spoiled the ending for myself before seeing the movie. The winter scenery is used to great effect, and there wasn't a weak link in the cast. The advertising campaign definitely sold this one short.

I'm very sorry that this flick had so pathetically poor story on it. The first half of the movie was almost perfect: actors, both adults and kids, worked nicely together, Ether was okay, editing and shooting were marv and athmosphere right. But as soon as Esther started to act, everything was forgotten: story sucked, logic turned around and the end was worst kind of thriller. BTW, there was no horror in this story.
