“There will be other moments so tense, you'll need to calm yourself by saying, ‘It's only a movie!’”
-Richard Corliss and Mary Corliss, Time
Come on, with a quote like that, who DOESN'T want to see this film? Personally, I miss some of this type of over-the-top hype that films of yester-year employed daily. Luckily for some of us, The Orphanage opened to a limited release this past Friday. Be sure and check listings in your area to see if it's playing.

The Orphanage, presented by Oscar-Nominee Guillermo del Toro, centers on a Laura (Belén Rueda from The Sea Inside) who purchases her beloved childhood orphanage with dreams of restoring and reopening the long abandoned facility as a place for disabled children. Once there, Laura discovers that the new environment awakens her son’s imagination, but the ongoing fantasy games he plays with an invisible friend quickly turn into something more disturbing. Upon seeing her family increasingly threatened by the strange occurrences in the house, Laura looks to a group of parapsychologists for help in unraveling the mystery that has taken over the place
