this film was amazing, i went to see it with some friends and i was overall extremely satisfied, its one of the best films ive seen in a long while.
it was a bit of a let down by the fact that everything was in spanish,
had there been no subtitles i wouldnt have gone to see the film,
but apart from that it was superb!- Was this review helpful to you?

(1238)Tension, sorrow and fear: rarely done well together
By heatonfan (7 reviews) from Manchester , 08 Apr 2013I am a little wary of giving a film 5 stars, but this is probably in my top 3 films of all, so I feel obliged. I like horror, but the genre is usually, unsurprisingly, let down by dubious acting, scripting or production even if the film is scary. The Orphanage, however, does not deserve to be labelled a mere 'horror' flick - it rises above that labelling into a top notch thriller with paranormal elements. The acting and direction are superb and the film manages to successfully combine elements of psychological tension, sorrow and fear. I am no fan of foreign language cinema for the sake of it, but the sub-titling did not interfere with my enjoyment at all. I will probably watch this several times more over the years.- Was this review helpful to you?

Must see...
By Jonzy666 (7 reviews) , 07 Mar 2013I'm a real scaredy cat when it comes to ghost movies, so I was really nervous when I was talked into watching this. I fell in love with it, it's so touching. There are a few scares along the way but you really feel for the main character and the heart breaking situation she finds herself in. It didn't change the way I feel about ghost movies (lost a fair few nights sleep after I watched 'woman in Black') but I really feel 'the orphanage' is a must watch movie for anybody.- Was this review helpful to you?

Super, sad, scary and touching all rolled into one!
By badbrain06 (18 reviews) , 14 Feb 2013[Highly rated reviewer]
Brilliant film! It was not predictable at all like some of the supernatural films I have seen - original and quite sad really..... The Spanish (subtitles) didn't bother me at all and I felt the film was better for being in a foreign setting! If I was to be critical at all it would only be to say that I wish it had been a longer film giving us more about the background of the orphanage and what had happened there! Super!- Was this review helpful to you?

Seriously....Not Amused
By LovingBryan (2 reviews) , 20 Jan 2013I received this on dvd and it wouldn't play. The disc wasn't even recognised; the disc appeared to be missing a silver ring on the back unlike all other dvd discs.- Was this review helpful to you?
