This is like a five star movie!
This story is about a "9" year old girl named Esther who was put in an orphanage, she and all the other kids and care-takers explain her as "different". So a family of four with a mom who recently lost their baby, a father, a five year old adorrible little girl, and a 12 year old brother. Soon everyone realisses the truth about Esther except the father, what is it?Somethings wrong with Esther!
Rated R,not for children under 10!~

Orphan, the name says very little for what you get to see in the movie. I watched great horrors/thrillers, this movie with mild brutality and refreshingly thrill creates a great impression on audience pulses. Esther, especially, acted terrific in portraying psychotic... Full review
