Orphan- the film

The film Orphan (2009) is about an orphaned girl named Esther (Isabelle Fuhrman) she's 9 years old and Russian. She gets adopted by Katie (Vera Farmiga) and John (Peter Sarsgaard) Coleman who already have a son named Daniel Coleman (Jimmy Bennett) and a daughter named Max Coleman (Aryana Engineer). Max is deaf and Daniel is just coming into his teenaged years and when they adopt Esther all sorts of bad events happen such as a girl named Brenda from her school bullies Esther so at the park Esther gets her revenge and pushes her from the top of a slide causing her to break her ankle, she also kills Sister Abigail who worked at the orphanage she was adopted from... But the story has a twist, Esther's life is built up by years and years of lies, turns out she's a 33 year old woman from a mental asylum in Estonia and she tries to seduce John. Previous times she has done this- passed herself off as a 9 year old to get to her adoptive father and when she's unsuccessful she burns down their house and finds a new place to start.
I love the fact that the film twists, you expect it to twist but you don't expect it to go from a girl being 9 years old to a girl being 33! I think the story line is fantastic and the way the camera angles are used really goes well. It gives it that horror feel. I think if you're into things that twist E.G. Saw I-VII then you'll love Orphan, obviously different storylines but they both twist in remarkable and unexpected ways.
