Orphan (2009)
3/10
Pretty Stupid

Let's see, where to begin...

I saw this movie late at night about a month ago. I had heard good things about it and saw its IMDb page and was looking forward to it...boy did I ever get tricked. I usually love late-night horror movies, but this was a real snoozer. I kept falling asleep and my girlfriend kept having to wake me up. The theatre started with about 12 people in it, there were 5 when it was done.

First off, I HATE Vera Farmiga. I have not liked her in ANYTHING she has been in, and this was no different. Calling her an actress is like calling nails on a chalkboard music.

The scares were very predictable. First off, too many "jump" scenes. Second, any "twist" they came up with I figured out within the first 20 minutes; and they weren't even that interesting to begin with.

'Esther' wasn't good, scary, convincing, memorable, or even remotely interesting. Her character build-up was poorly done, and she was a very predictable "killer".

There was almost no good in this movie, the only thing that kept me watching was some good scenery and some good suspense. Not much, though.

3/10.
