Customer Ratings & Reviews

Easily one of the best ghost/horror films of the last two decades. With a compelling story, haunting visuals and gorgeous cinematography, The Orphanage will leave you with chills!

First, let me say that, if you are only a big fan of slasher horror films, you probably won't like this film. Why? Because it provides its thrills and chills in a much more cerebral fashion. If that's your cup of tea, you'll love it. I hate spoilers, so I won't give details, but this is an atmospheric chiller that true film lovers will enjoy. Check it out!

The Orphanage was a surprisingly good foreign horror flick, also glad I got it at a discounted price.

Very well shot and a great ghost story with heart deeply moving

I had looked for this movie for a long time and I was happy that I was able to find it on your website!! Thank you!!!

This movie is great to watch, It had a great price,

Don't be turned away by the fact that there are subtitles. Great scary movie

Being a Guillermo Del Toro film I should of half expected it not to be in English but that fact made it all the more interesting. Wasn't really spooky at all but still made for a good ghost story.

If you enjoyed The Others then you would appreciate this movie. The story focuses on character devlopment and your imagination. Its spooky, jumpy at times, and makes you pay attention. At first I didn't like this movie so much bc I was too busy comparing it to Pan's Labyrinth (which is what Guillermo Del Toro is basically known for). It didn't have the eyecandy that Pan's Labyrinth had but I like how the story unravelled and how the ending closed in on you (well at least that's how I felt). I remember the character, Tomas's face when they unmasked him. You feel sorry for him bc he is forever trapped in the innocence of a child yet he is haunting and scary bc his intentions are not something you'd want on your agenda! And I will never forget the chant that the orphans say in the beginning and throughout the movie: "Un, dos, tres, toca la pared! "(One, two, three, knock on the door!) Nursery rhymes and childhood songs now scare me bc I start to think that they may have an underlying meaning! It takes a little warming up to, but this is definitely a good spooky story.

This was a very good horror movie! The only reason I didn't give it five stars was because it was in spanish. And don't tell me it's because he's spanish, He11boy was in English. He could've atleast made it English dubbed. Besides, you're selling the movie predominantly in America. It doesn't make sense. It's not like an Asian horror designed for Asians, then it eventually makes it's way to us. He makes it in spanish then sells it in America. I don't get it?! My wife and I loved this movie, but for us it takes the fun out of it trying to read a horror movie! I do recommend it, but put on your reading glasses. Also, two other great movies of Del Taco's you may want to check (or should I say read), are Pan's Labyrinth and Devil's Backbone.

This was one of the best horror/thriller movies I've seen in a very long time. Nowadays all the horror/thriller movies that come out are so cliched!!! This one is different, it focuses on character development more than it does on the horror side, which makes you get into the movie. Awesome plot and ending, very well done. Plus its in spanish which gives it this cool and erie feel. And its produced by the guy who made Pan's Labyrinth, which was another amazing movie!!!

Once again, Guillermo Del Torro delivers another brilliant movie. I was surprised by the ending that definitely change my view on life. This movie makes you question what is real for the main character and you find yourself believing in a happy ending when you should be expecting the worst. The Orphanage takes horror to a new and refreshing level and I love that it's in Spanish. If you like Pan's Labyrinth, you will definitely love The Orphanage and The Devil's Backbone, another great GDT movie.

DO NOT let the fact that this movie is subtitled discourage you from watching it, because you will regret it. This is perhaps the best ghost movie I have seen. Guillermo Del Toro has quickly become one of my favorite directors with The Devil's Backbone and Pan's Labyrinth.

This movie is wonderful. I've told everyone I know to watch it and if they haven't seen G. Del Toro's other movie (Pan's Labyrinth) they should see that as well. This movie will blind side you with twists that you will never see coming. This movie will seriously creep you out at the end. Hard to say anymore about it w/out giving anything away. A+, they just don't make movies like this anymore, it's a must see!

I saw "Pan's Labryth" and i loved the consept, this movie, altho it is all in SPanish Speaking, has a wonderful story line, great yet funny speaking actors. lol If you do not understand spanish, no need too, they have subtitiles and the acting is very simple to understand in a way. Its a cool movie to watch. I reccomend it for those who love creepy movies. =)

Guillermo del Toro does again what he proved with Pan's Labyrinth. He is a master storyteller and director. You really have no clue what is going up until the very end when everything is revealed. And your left with a completly stunning fantasy tale.
