Here’s a brief synopsis: As a child, Laura was an orphan who lived in residence hall that is the subject of this film. Its long dark hallways seem to be calling out for ghosts. The ghosts of children lurk in the cave, the battering waves nearly captures a mother who desperately searches for her missing child, and the lighthouse, is it a beacon of hope? The multi-level home, a former residence for orphaned children, has hidden rooms and buried secrets. Set in a seashore atmosphere, with thrashing waves, seaside caves and a lighthouse just few waves away, The Orphanage effectively uses this striking setting to bring forth haunts. Spanish filmmakers seem to have exactly what it takes when it comes to creating haunted house films.īack to The Orphanage. This film is in good company with other modern and relatively modern greats such as The Others ( Alejandro Amenábar) and The House at the End of Time ( Alejandro Hidalgo). I will continue to distinguish the traditional “goodness” from the modern “blah” again and again until the creators of lesser films get the message.

I love it when I can praise a modern film for utilizing the time-tested techniques of classic scare films. The product of this union is The Orphanage – an exceptional haunted house film.įree of cheap scares and senseless gore – The Orphanage relies on setting, story, and artful camera work. Bayona (Director) and Guillermo Del Toro (Executive Producer) have joined forces and the results are phenomenal.
