sreeOct 11, 2019this is the longest anti-adoption campaign I have ever seen

if i adopted a murderous russian demon orphan who made horrifying pervert blacklight art and dressed like a haunted victorian doll i would simply love, support, and cherish her forever
sydneyAug 25, 2022i think the deeper meaning behind all of this is that dads have no clue who their kids really are
trinFeb 3, 2021if i was esther i would simply try to seduce vera farmiga instead of the dad

I hadn’t watch this movie for a long time, so it was kind of like seeing it for the first time again, and let me tell you … this sh*t was utterly insane. It had me wanting to beat the dog sh*t out of Esther for upwards of 45 mins. The creativity for each attack was crazy. 10/10
Kareem likedOrphanAnti-adoption propaganda 😭😭. Really liked the story of this and the insane unique twist at the end. Great acting too ofc, from Vera and especially Isabelle. The Soundtrack and the stingers were so bad tho in almost all of the film, 10-15 min cut wouldn't have hurt either.
Dezarey likedOrphanThe beginning was not scary to me, the idea of the movie is the real scare factor. Fear of the unknown. The ending of this movie was literally insane. It’s a classic so you HAVE to watch it at least once!

• really good characters • there was tiny details at the start that all connected together towards the end • it was quite disturbing but in a good way • an amazing plot • unexpected deaths
jet linares likedOrphanone of my favorite horror films!! the actor for esther is so damn talented and this movie just . chef kiss. if you haven't watched this please please watch it
Jackson is "meh" onOrphanI don’t know, honestly good movie idea based off a true story. Just got super creepy when the girl started trying to get with the dad, great actors though.

Metacritic
You want a good horror film about a child from hell, you got one. Do not, under any circumstances, take children to see it. Take my word on this.
Roger Ebert
Chicago Sun-Times
Furhman plays pure evil with such supreme calmness that only her eyes shine with madness. Indeed, all of the child actors are superb, especially the expressive Engineer.
Kirk Honeycutt
The Hollywood Reporter
Teasingly enjoyable rubbish through the first hour, Orphan becomes genuine trash during its protracted second half.
