“The Orphanage”

Posted by on May 10, 2008 · 2 Comments 

Guillermo Del Toro’s latest film “The Orphanage” (“El Orfanato”), is an amazing horror film that literally INVENTS a new genre of horror.

And the best part, it features characters with disabilities. A very interesting, relevant movie for me (and I’m sure for you too).

The reason I believe it invents a new genre within the genre of horror, is because you actually cry tears of joy for the “scary bad people” at the end of the film.

Talk about a mindfuck. I truly loved it!

It’s on DVD and Netflix’s “Play Now” feature, so check it out asap. If you’re a horror fan and don’t mind subtitles, and have a disability on top of all that, you’ll really like this film.

Your sorta-movie reviewer extrordinaire…

    I saw this a few months ago and didn’t even really think about the disability aspect! I thought it was really creepy but sad.
