El Orfanato - The Orphanage(2007)

[metirish]

Guillermo del Toro produces this chiller , Laura returns with her husband and son Sim�n and buys the orphanage where she spent some of her youth , her plans are to fix it up and take in disabled children.

Soon Sim�n is acting up and talking about his " friends" that play with him , when Sim�n goes missing what follows I found disturbing and transfixing as Laura is convinced that things that happened at the orphanage in the past are responsible for what is happening now.


Is she going crazy , can she separate reality from her imagination?


I wouldn't class this as a horror but I was on the edge of my seat throughout the movie and the payoff was worth it.
