Orphan was actually kind of boring, which is amazing, because how in God's name can any movie with this plot description be boring?
So, there's this girl, and she's adopted by a nice family. Except she turns out to be A KILLER. And she tries to seduce the father. And she dresses weird.
Is she a demon? Is she a ghost? No. She's a 33 year old Estonian dwarf serial killer.
This movie fell into that terrible trap of contemporary "horror", which attempts so much to avoid veering into exploitation and over-the-topness that even the most outlandish concepts still come across very flatly. If they had amped up the cheese level a little more it would have been more worthwhile. Although, the fine New Yorkers I shared a theatre with last night found it to be a laugh riot, so who can say?
