Trailer with English subtitles. I recommend people watching it. It's produced by del Toro who directed Pan's Labyrinth, but this film is directed by Juan Antonio Bayona. It seems good. I haven't seen as of yet.
My apologies if another thread for this film exists then close this one down.

I'm a huge del Toro fan but I don't like scary movies. My friends really want to see it because they love scary movies. I don't know though, I've heard that it's super scary and the critics have been raving about it. We'll see if I gather enough courage to go watch it.

I am so excited to see this movie. So excited. Just saw the trailer yesterday on T.V. Hopefully I'll be able to persuade my brother to take me instead of his lame friends.

I would love to see this movie. It's Spain's submission for the Oscars in the Foreign Film category. It seems chilling. I definitely need to see it.

I heard good reviews, that's why. My personal opinions don't really have much sway, you know? Sorry for the misunderstanding.

I think this is going to be more like Del Toro's The Devil's Backbone than it is Pan's Labyrinth. Not just because The Orphanage and TDB have to do with orphanages, but I see more TDB in this than I do Pan's. TDB was actually the film that made me a Guillermo Del Toro fan, and what made me look forward to Pan's so much last year.
I hate how so many people are acknowledging it as this years Pan's Labyrinth. I saw a TV spot that said that.
But I guess they have to get asses in the theater seats somehow.
FYI for those who doubt, 82% on rottentomatoes = critical love.

There was nothing to fear,

I said, "Come on, I thought it over. I don't wanna die here. I have no desire to get m♥rried."
Every night I pray for you, don't believe in heaven or that it could be a happy place.

I just got back from watching it. Overall, I liked it. It was a very well played out film. I saw the Others when I was a really, really young girl and the memory of that movie is vague so I wouldn't be able to detect the similarities. It's not as frightening as people think. It's more... sad, really.

I would also like to say that the film was good but had a few holes in it that bothers me a bit.
Golly, I love the Crest Theater.

I finally saw this movie last night.
First and formost: I don't care how much you dislike horror movies, go see this film. Now.
This is one of the best horror movies I've ever seen, if not the best. And no, I don't just mean the scariest (it was that, too, though), it was one the deepest, most well-made, and most heart-wretching. This just proves you don't need over-the-top killers and vast amounts of blood and gore to make on truly amazing horror movie.
This movie was like a punch in the chest. I'm still in shock from the ending, honestly. It was so chilling and scary on a psycological level, and for multiple reasons my jaw was literally dropped and I had tears streaming down my face.
FYI, I do not normally have reactions like that to movies. Me and my best friend are kind of horror movie junkies, so it's not very often a film leaves us in THAT much awe, in THAT much fright, and THAT emotional at the end. But the Orphanage did that.
I mean, I watched half the movie curled up in my seat with my hands covering half my face. But it was so damn good. XDDD
I realize saying it was scary as hell will probably turn a lot of people off from it, since a lot of people simply don't like being afraid (I love it, hah hah), but yeah, take my word for it. The storyline and ending make it totally worth it.
But yeah, there were even parts of the ending that were semi-obviously laid out that I still didn't get until a friend mentioned it after it ended. WARNING: basically the biggest spoiler you could give for this particular movie over here. Only hilight if you've already seen the movie...
[[ It turns out the death of her son is almost the mother's own fault. You're lead to believe maybe the ghosts did it, but after the mother finds her son, it flashes back a few events, one where she puts the heavy bar back in front of the secret door, and one where she is listening through the wall and hears a bang, thinking maybe it IS an invisible ghost after all. She ended up trapping her son in Tomas' secret room, where he perished, and that in turn leads us no answer as to whether or not these ghosts were even real in the first place. ]]
I mean, this detail alone make the movie SO much more tragic, I don't know how I missed it at first. ^^;;

It was an interesting movie. Some scenes made me jump. That bag boy creeped the hell out of me. Something about little creepy kids with weird masks just creeps me out.
Overall, I liked how it didn't have a usual Hollywood cop-out ending.

I saw this movie at last. Gosh my friend beat me up during the movie. Some of the scary parts he hit me. I'll never sit next to him in a movie ever again. 
But anyway, this was a wonderful movie. Really sad and well done. Great story and the ending is really really sad. A total Greek tragedy.

I can't believe this movie hasn't gained more popularity.

Had to go all the way to NYC to watch this but so worth it.
My heart was literally pounding during certain scenes...the masked boy::shudder::
The interaction between the mother and simon were so heartbreaking especially when he found out he was adopted and was going to die and he was yelling at Laura about it. ...oh and of course the ending when the mother realizes she trapped her son in the secret room and feels guilt. My friend and I were like what's that noise? when Laura would just be talking to her husband and you can hear pounding in the background. We were like do they hear that? Is that part of the movie?..lol. Then, you find out what happened and it just leaves you speechless.
I also love the whole peter pan subtext with the orphans being like the children in neverland and Laura as Wendy getting older and returning. Ahh, there's so much to say about this film. I keep editing my post.
I demand more people to watch this film instead of some the lame crap that usually top the box office !

^ That pretty much sum up all I have to say. ^^
It was really well made. I wouldn't say it's the scariest movie. I keep waiting for it but it never came.
And the ending, what can I say? It's heart wrenching. That's going to leave feeling like crap for awhile.
I'm bad at reviews, but it's worth watching.
