There's Something Wrong with Esther


Ah, tagline. What a GLORIOUS understatement.

There have been so many times the hype of a film has led to an ultimate let down upon seeing it. Orphan was not one of those movies.
I saw it with 3 others, 2 of which are not fans of horror, in fact one of them downright hates it and was just feeling adventurous this particular evening. At the end of Orphan we all left stunned and the theater unanimously agreed that they had just been on the best 2 hour thrill ride of a movie they had seen in a long time.
Orphan is intense, taboo, wrong, violent, smart, and fun. It crosses lines, and will literally have you on the edge of your seat from start to finish. It is not light on plot nor action and will scare you. But you won't care. Its too much fun.
I haven't seen a horror movie this good in years. Maybe ever.


To show you its not just me, I went ahead an searched for Orphan in Twitter and here were the 20 or so most recent posts.
