Orphan
Directed by Jaume Collet-Serra
The tragic loss of their unborn child has devastated Kate (Vera Farmiga--The Departed) and John (Peter Sarsgaard--Rendition, Kinsey), taking a toll on both their marriage and Kate's fragile psyche as she is plagued by nightmares and haunted by demons from her past. Struggling to regain some semblance of normalcy in their lives, they decide to adopt another child. At the local orphanage, both John and Kate find themselves drawn to a young girl named Esther (Isabelle Fuhrman) ... but Esther is not what she appears to be. Kate desperately tries to get John and others to see past Esther's sweet facade.
Peter Sarsgaard and Vera Farmiga star as a couple who adopt a 9-year-old girl after losing their own baby ... then slowly discover their new daughter is not nearly as innocent as she claims to be.
Cast: Vera Farmiga, Peter Sarsgaard, Isabelle Fuhrman

though the the majority of the plot was very predictable, the visuals in this movie and the twist at the end were extremely well done
It's entertaining for sure, but pretty easy to make fun of. I love the weird twist haha
I like that it doesn’t follow the tired “bad seed” troupe all the way through, but it is a little slow in some parts.
Amazing!! Loved it <3
One of my first horror movies and boy does it twist. What feels like a well-known plot slowly morphs as fear builds until the climax of the film which is surprising and well done.
