THE ORPHANAGE is a seemingly simple story that is actually quite complex. There are a handful of seeds set with juicy pay-offs that blossom from them.A good old-fashioned horror in the best possible way, this is a beautifully told, terrifying ghost story that lingers with you long after the shivers have stopped.Not only is the story spooky...there are several good shocks along the way that will knock you out of your seat.The Orphanage proves the haunted house genre is alive and well - in the right hands. It is never less than engaging. Here and there it's even genuinely frightening.This movie is so good at using its horror elements to explore deeper, less fantastical emotions. For all its bump-in-the-night suspense, The Orphanage is ultimately as much about motherhood and grief as it is about apparitions and shadowy corridors.As if more proof were needed that the best way to make a scary movie is through atmosphere, pacing and storytelling, rather than sudden violence, needless gore and random shocks, here comes The Orphanage.
