The Orphanage will not disappoint. It is an eerie movie that has a few chills and really creepy scenes. The acting is very good and although I was reading subtitles I got lost in the story and didn't even notice.
I can't say much about the ending without giving it away, but it is one that is a bit shocking and reminds me of something Hitchcock would have done.
It can't really be called a "horror" in my book. Even though it was creepy and had a couple of butt-clenching scenes it was more of a thriller/mystery. That isn't a bad thing, but if you are watching this to have a good, jump out of your seat, fright night, look elsewhere. Take a look if you want a quality film and you have already watched Pan's Labyrinth.
