Summary: WOW, exelent Ghost Story
Comment: This is the first movie in a while that gave me goosebumps and genuinely scared me. IT was awesome. It didn't hurt that I watched it by myself, at midnight with the lights off, on blu ray, and in the middle of a windstorm.. but wow. I can only remember 1 gory part, that really isn't that bad, so the gorehounds aren't going to like this one. But it does have Great atmosphere, and camera work. Very nice picture quality except for a few noticeable spots of grain every now and then, great surround audio, but a little skimpy on the extras. Sometimes I am put off by subtitles, but this wasn't incredibly heavy on dialogue so I didn't mind at all. Overall, if you are looking for an excellent ghost story for a dark windy night, you can't go wrong with The Orphanage. And if you liked this one, then check out ' The Devil's Backbone ', also a great Spanish Ghost story.The Devil's Backbone (Special Edition) **** 4 stars out of 5.

Summary: Not avaliable in English
Comment: I realize that the Spanish people in Europe are a nobel people who produced great men like General Franco. In USA when I hear the spanish language here it only brings out hate. I did not realize that there was no english sound track and I wont listen to the language of filth and criminals.

Summary: A Classic Is Born
Comment: 'El Orfanato' ('The Orphanage') is a sorrowful, hauntingly beautiful, and quite terrifying ghost story. It is also sharply written, exquisitely acted, scored, and shot, and superbly directed by Juan Antonio Bayona, astonishingly his first feature film. I'm a lifelong ghost/horror fan; I've seen it three times now, and it never fails to cast its spell, stir my emotions, or impress me anew with the finely-calibrated artistry of its execution (and also chill me to the bone). 'The Innocents' (1961) is my ultimate touchstone where cinematic ghost stories are concerned; IMHO 'The Orphanage' is pretty much its equal in every way, one of the very very few films that are, and truly one for the ages. Brilliant!

Summary: Great movie
Comment: Some weeks ago I got some passes to the movies. They were free so I just selected a movie in spanish. (Even though I don't like Spanish from Spain accent). The movie catched my attention and provided me more than 90 minutes of great suspense.
I just ordered two DVDs of this movie and I really recommend to anyone who wants to have a good time watching this horror movie.
I've seen several movies in which is just went to the cinema to sleep. This one kept me awake and frozen.
Buy it now.
This movie is available only in spanish (English subtitles). I understand spanish perfectly but actually I prefer the latinamerican accent.
