Movie: "El Orfanato" (2007)


Here am I again,with impressions about the movie I saw in the cinema last night.
I honestly didn't know anything about this movie,it was just pure intuition and little voice told me it sounds interesting - it was good ,althought nothing earth-shaking as I already saw similar movie back in 2001 ("The Others") - its a curse of seeing too many movies so everything is borrowed or inspired by something else.
Just like in "The Others" here we have lonely house,creepy atmosphere,things that go boom in the night,invisible friends and so on.And mysterious lady who arrives at the doorstep with no other purpose than to creeps everybody out - on my way home I mulled it over in my head and couldn't really see her reasons to arrive at the house in the first place. Went on the net to see what other people thought but everybody had their own version so I better stuck with mine - she was just a pointless "red herring".
Still,interesting movie and was pleasure to see Geraldine Chaplin after long time. It seems like a lifetime since I saw her in "Dr.Zhivago".
