On a certain level, I was kind of looking forward to seeing “Orphan.” After all, I am a long-time horror movie buff, and all those creepy kid movies from the 70s (e.g., “The Omen” and “The Exorcist”) really freaked me out.
Count me disappointment, befuddled and totally flabbergasted when I finally saw the film.
“Orphan” tells the story of Kate and John Coleman (Vera Farmiga and Peter Sarsgaard), who lost a baby at delivery and now want to adopt a child. They find Esther (Isabelle Furman), a seemingly brilliant and beautiful little nine-year-old Russian girl. However, when they bring Esther home, she starts to terrorize the Coleman’s other two children, commits a series of violent acts and pits Kate and John against each other.
