ORPHAN - GOOD OR BAD ???

#1 Post by michellev15 » Fri Aug 14, 2009 7:51 pm

Hi, I am asking for some advice, a friend has invited me to the cinema to see the new film called Orphan. I think it is a horror/thriller.

I am wondering how bad is it ? I am not good at horror and normally end up peeling myself of the ceiling or missing half of the film as i am under my seat !!!

I recently went to see drag me to hell and think i missed half the film and couldn't sleep for about a week !!!!

I normally watch comedy, romance etc but if anyone has seen it would welcome there opinion as at the moment not at all sure.

Thanks :blink:

Hi, I was dragged to this by my so called mates, as Iam not a fan of horror films either. As it turns out I didn't really find it that scary. I had seen the trailer for it at the cinema a few times, which showed all the 'scary' bits, so you knew they were coming. A couple of things about the film I found annoying, but I can't mention them without giving the plot away lol

Has anyone seen this?
I want to know your thoughts?

I was yawning for most of the movie and thought the jumps were way to predictable. I wasn't in the mood to entertain the lousy attempts of suspense.

However the ending was hilarious would never have guessed it. Worth watching maybe on a really boring night in.

Drag Me Back To Hell was a lot better ... very scarey still wondering why I watched it.

Sorry for late update, i was glad for your synopsis as wouldnt have gone. Enjoyed the film was jumpy, sometimes predictable (still made me jump though !!!), the twist was very odd better not disclose incase anyone reads. Thought it was worth a view though so would have given it 7/10. :-)

I thought it was very good. Probably not everyone's cup of tea but if you like movies such as Single White Female and The hand that Rocks the Cradle, I think you will enjoy this. 8/10.
