Freaked out by the movie Orphan
Have you been freaked out by the movie Orphan yet? The movie Orphan stars Vera Farmiga, Peter Sarsgaard, and Isabella Fuhrman in Jaume Collet Sera’s latest film.
The movie Orphan is about a family of four. John (Sarsgaard) and Kate (Farmiga) tried to have a fifth child but it was it was still born. This event in their life pushes Kate towards alcoholism and John towards cheating.
Even though John and Kate are still struggling with their relationship, they decide that it’s time to adopt a child. They decide to adopt Esther (Fuhrman) who is extremely polite but her personality seems just a little bit odd and older than what a nine-year-old should be.
When Esther is involved in an accident with another girl on the playground, Kate begins to wonder what really makes Esther tick. Though John and Kate’s psychologist think that she’s the family member that’s becoming evil hearted.
I have to admit that when I first saw the trailer for the movie Orphan, I thought that the film was going to be another remake of a movie about a bad child or a possessed child. The movie trailers did not do the movie Orphan any justice.
Isabella Fuhrman did an amazing job playing the creeping and aggressive Esther in the movie Orphan. From the very beginning it is easy to find hate for her character even though she’s suppose to be a nine year old.
When it comes to the actors in the film. The only one that I have a problem with is John. Of course there has to be two people in the relationship or Esther wouldn’t be able to force a wedge between them. One movie fan called his character passive aggressive and I have to agree. Plus the fact that his character doesn’t add much drama to the movie’s storyline
Speaking of the movie storyline. I really think that you will love this movie. There were moments where you expected to be scared but Esther’s brutality is the scariest thing in the film. The movie will end in a way that you never expected.
