Orphan (2009)



A husband and wife who recently lost their baby adopt a 9-year-old girl who is not nearly as innocent as she claims to be.

OK horror thriller with a great cast is at times suspenseful, but the story is old hat and the actual resolution something of a letdown.

Maltin**1/2: "Formulaic "bad-seed"-type horror movie still manages to offer up plenty of creepy Gran Guignol moments and sports a genuine you-won't see-it-coming twist that sets it apart from others in the overworn genre...Some of this goes way over the top, yet remains a gulty pleasure for genre fans."
