Is there a thread already open on this film? Noticed that there is a review on the main site (I won’t read it though because I like to guy into films knowing as little about it as possible) but I’ve heard good things about it. This one may convince me to cough up some cash and actual watch a film in the CINEMA! :D

I have also read little about it (for the same reasons) but the things I did hear were all positive. A friend of mine also recommended it to me. So I would just go to the cinema if I were you! (but I recommend that for any movie; movies belong in dark places with big screens)

the only thing i got tickets to at the New York Film Festival (Lincoln Center) and it’s a midnight screening.
Everything else was sold out so very quickly =(
i’m hoping it’ll be a good fright!

The Orphanage was one of the best films I saw at TIFF this year.  Very classy production and the best Jump Scare I’ve had in years.  (YEARS!)

My sister got so scared during one of those moments, she kicked her shoe off and wasn’t able to retrieve it until the lights came back on.

SPOILER

Anyone else found it funny that the husband/doctor was doing mouth to mouth on the old lady after she got hit by the car?  Her face was falling apart!  There’s no way he could’ve possibly covered the entire mouth.

SPOILER END

I’m not sure whether this has been released here in the UK (forgot about it to be honest until I looked on this forum….). Hopefully I’ll get to see it on the big screen but given it’s a Spanish film I’ll probably have a hard time tracking it down…

I am Spanish, an I have translated the large trailer into English. Here is the link: http://youtube.com/watch?v=i3TuClW65s8

And so yes, after seeing it that night I can say it was a very good scare—or rather multiples of them!
some of those jump scares i knew was going to happen but others just got me completely off-guard.
Really is one of the best films I saw in recent years (and not just horror).
