This is one of the best spanish movies I have ever seen. Also was the first time I remember thinking: the ticket price was totally worth it.

Great movie with a nice story. It is not that scary, it is not supposed to be, but it has its moments of suspense. I liked how the events happened. I don't think it's a unique masterpiece of a story, but it is a good story executed well. Kept me wondering "was going to happen next" throughout the movie. It was worth watching.

An above average ghost story that still didn't make me love ghost stories.

I've heard quite a few raves for "The Orphanage". I really liked the great set and wonderful less-is-more atmosphere presented in this film. I always appreciate the ability to tell a scary story without excessive gore. But after watching this twice it doesn't stand up to other recent spooky treats like "The Others" or "The Sixth Sense" or even other Guillermo Del Toro related projects like "The Devil's Backbone". Perhaps I needed more involvement from Carlos (the father) or maybe a better child actor than the boy who played Simon. The movie was certainly slow-moving but that is normally something that I have plenty of patience for. I can recommend "The Orphanage" for it's cinematography but not really on its characters or storytelling.

One of the best horror movies I've ever watched. No jump scares, amazing story. Wish Hollywood learns from this how to make a proper horror movie.

Ok, this is not a horror film, but rather a tragic drama with paranormal elements.

As a film in itself, it does not have a complex plot, or really original. It is a rather bland story, and the ending has no resolution to the intrigue built up throughout the film. The acting and the characters are also somewhat childish for being adults.
