 - One-dimensional horrorThis movie is unfortunately not "this years Pan's Labyrinth", as it says on the cover of the DVD. Pan's Labyrinth is superior in every way. In fact, talking about horror films by spanish directors, I also think The Others is a better movie. But The Orphanage is not a bad move. It is skillfully filmed and easily evokes horror by small means (there is very little blood and gore in this film). It contains suspense, horror and some tragedy. But I also find it flawed. The characters are one-dimensional and the use of music is too much. This is a suspenseful entertainment, but not a film I will have to re-watch. 3.5 stars. The DVD has good picture quality, but the subtitles are a little bit too big. Rating:  - Good movieGuillermo does nice work. My wife and I enjoyed this movie. If you like his other work, you should like this too. Rating: - A fine little chillerA workshop in being scary. Amid the dreck of the genre, this movie shines. Dread fills the room as you watch. There is a moment of insight, as in "Don't Look Now", that fills us with despair. What great movie making. Run out and get this. Put it on your netflix. Rating:  - Spanish Cimema is BackOne of thee best movies I have seen in a long,long time.The acting was excellent ,the storyline was superb and all of the pieces fit together just like a quality work of literature,made movie should.I appreciated it being in Spanish and not literally translated because then it looses its true artistic flavor.Del Toro is a genius.I suppose I'll be looking for more of his works. Lo mejor del cinema espanol,lo recomiendo para ellos que esperan calidad y profundidez. Rating: - The OrphanageI have not watched this copy as of yet however I did receive it in a timely fashion.
