While it has moments of dark humor and the requisite scares, Orphan fails to build on its interesting premise and degenerates into a formulaic, sleazy horror/thriller. Read critic reviews

original and dramatic re-combinations of images and ideas usually thrown together by Hollywood habit into hackneyed patterns, but here constructed and construed expertly. my mind found great pleasure in this dark castle stamped escape from the daily treadmill. a stout tale!

Isabelle Fuhrman (Esther) for her age she played really a great Psycho role. I wont call it Horror, it is more kind of Thriller. Nice Movie for a change.

A good opportunity to give a lil' devilish twist to the killer children genre, Orphan takes the formulaic, the cliché and says "fuck logic" half way through for another cheap slasher (with good effects, mind you). Still worth a shot for a very very convincing role by the very young Isabelle Fuhrman who steals the show and adequately, sounds much more mature than someone of her age should be and that is exacly what the role required and she nails it like a true pro.
