Review of the Orphanage.

The film the Orphanage is a Spanish film watched by English subtitles. The film is about a women and her husband moving house, back to start up an orphanage she once attended too, when her son starts playing with some strange imaginary friends. His friends start to appear more realistic when he makes up a hiding game with them hiding an item that you love. His mother thinks he has made up this game hiding the things himself for attention, but then begins to believe her son when he goes missing and she spots one of his imaginary friends and involves herself in the game desperately trying to find her son, but are his imaginary friends good or bad?

The film is actually a very good horror, not particularly scary but more twisted, engaging you into the film. The film starts out quite slow and hard to watch having to read the subtitles but once the games get started you almost forget your reading the film instead of listening.
