Oh my gosh what a fantastic movie!. It's available on DVD, we rented it for the weekend. This movie is suspenseful, frightening in a non-gory violent way. It has mental anguish, and in the end it makes you cry. What a wonderful movie.!! It's directed by Guillermo Del Toro, same director who did Pans Labrynth. ( if you haven't seen Pans Labrynth, you're missing out on the best movie have seen in the last couple years!!!)
The Orphanage centers on a Laura (Belén Rueda) 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 sons 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.
Interesting. Sounds like the movie, "The Devils backbone"? I think that's what it was called. It's also a spanish thriller with ghosts. I'll have to check it out, but I didn't like the way Pan's Labirynth ended. Though the guy with eyes in his hands really creeped me out. LOL
