THE ORPHANAGE
This is simply one of the most beautifully made ghost stories to come along in a very long while. The story is fascinating, even touching as a woman buys the house she once lived in as an orphan and plans to use it after rennovation as a care home for disadvantaged youth. When tragedy strikes with her young adopted son, she begins to be haunted by the house's past and she must go deep within herself not only for her own well being but that the children who also lived with her when she was younger.
Produced by new fantasy / horror maven Guillermo Del Torro who brought you PAN'S LABYRYNTH and HELL BOY II as well the older creatur feature MIMIC, doesn't cut any corners and mounts an extraordinarily beautiful movie and his director Juan Antonio Bayons knows how work on an audience's imagination with one deliciously creepy and clever scene after another. One you should really watch with the lights out!

Later viewing but well worth...
so i watched this movie at home, unfortunetly, in pitch black, alone, at 1 am and let me tell you by the end of the movie my bathroom light was on and my bedroom door was halfway open...i was definitely scared....not gore or monster or even ghostly (some parts) but the idea, the suspense had me behind my pillow. Love this movie i will definitely buy this one!!!
