Plot: Laura (Belen Rueda) returns to the home that used to serve as an orphanage. She now wants to raise her son Simon and other children in need. Simon begins to create six imaginary friends and play games that begin to remind Laura of her past and perhaps a horrific mystery. Who’s it for: This is a must for horror fans. I really hope teenagers who go see the “Saw” films will pay attention to “The Orphanage” just to see the difference in quality.

Expectations: A couple of fellow critics insisted I needed to see the film. I haven’t liked a horror film for a long time because of the slasher porn trend. That and I scare easily.
