ORPHAN

I thought it was a horror movie. I thought it was a movie that is somewhat like the omen. All through out the beginning of the movie I waited for Esther to use her telekinesis or telekinetic abilities. But i was wrong. She is just a psychotic little girl. Well at least she looks like a little girl.

Very well, the story is like this. Mom lost her third child. She got depressed and became an alcoholic and nearly killed their daughter. Meanwhile her husband had an affair while she was having a nervous breakdown. Now all things passed, they decided to adopt a grown up child. Mother said, she would like to give her love to Jessica (the name of her lost baby) to someone else. Enter Esther. She is the adopted girl who came from Russia. In the first scenes in the movie with her it was clear to me that she has a father complex. Their older child (son) doesn't like her coz he finds her a weirdo by wearing ruffled dressed. As the movie progress, it clearly shows that she is a psychotic child who kills people that upsets her. Eventually she turned against her brother and mother. Eventually the mother learned Esther didn't came from an orphanage in Russia but a mental hospital that Esther isn't what she seems to be.

I am a bit disappointed on this movie. I was expecting it be a horror movie. Instead I got a psychotic thriller. *sigh* anyway, setting aside that. The movie is quite ok. Its one of those movies that is not a dissaster but not oscar material enough. However, its nicely done.
