El Orfanato (The Orphanage)[views:1790][posts:5]_____________________________________________ [Feb 3,2008 11:21am - MarkFuckingRichards ""] I'm surprised I didn't see a thread about this movie already...unless I just missed it. Anyone see this movie? I saw it yesterday and it was fucking amazing. It's from the same director(s) of Pan's Labyrinth, so you know it's creepy as shit. |

Either way, this movie was fucking amazing. I wish I hadn't waited so long to see it in the theater, as I'd like to see it again soon but I think it's going to be gone soon. Liz, what was your reaction to the bus part, haha? I laughed my fucking ass off while everyone around me shuddered. Good times. |

Really well done for a first time director, but pretty derivative (especially of The Devil's Backbone, which makes sense, and there are only so many places you can go with the whole ghosts at an orphanage thing). Nice atmosphere and pacing and another great performance from Rueda. She's going to be huge! |
