First Time Watching ORPHAN Reaction... I AM TRAUMATIZED

[@MasterNinjaTeddyBear]

The real horror of this movie is a family who couldn't pay attention to two kids wanting a third.

[@joshuah9109]

The inspiration for this movie was a case involving Barbora Skrlova, a 33yr old woman who posed as a 13yr old boy. Its ten times crazier than this story and quite disturbing, so anyone who is thinking of looking it up, TRIGGER WARNING, it's VERY unsettling.

[@taylorkatemc]

I never noticed it before, but it's such a clever little thing that whilst Esther was smothering Daniel, wearing his pulse oximeter, her heartbeat BARELY rose.

[@MrFreddyFazbear1934]

We gotta give Isabelle her flowers, she was like 11 and did so well at playing a 33 year old. She is an amazing actress.

[@ericwebster28]

Now you need to watch Orphan: First Kill. It’s actually a surprisingly good prequel. The actress that plays Esther was born in 1997, and somehow in the 2022 prequel they made her still look like a little girl.

[@devynjohnson317]

I second that. It’s a good movie.

[@DanielWeinreb-vc6et]

They had to use a body double or CGI or something. She looked too young.

[@kiillabytez]

@@DanielWeinreb-vc6et No CGI, they just used the same tricks that Peter Jackson used in Lord of the Rings for the scenes with the Hobbits and Gimli. Perspective and having the other actors standing on boxes to appear taller than Esther, as well as her being on her knees to appear shorter. She's not that tall to begin with.

[@skyofthelivingdead]

@@DanielWeinreb-vc6et they did use a little girl body double but the shots with Isabelle Fuhrman were done using camera trickery and other effects. No CGI though.

[@itsjuliescottyay]

I’m going to disagree. She’s a great actress, but she didn’t look 8. Not her fault. They were the ones who decided to cast a 24-year-old girl to play an eight-year-old. She did the best she could with it and I enjoyed the movie, but I think it would’ve been better if they hired a girl more the right age to play the part.

[@melbournegirl12]

“These are all the dads she’s obsessed with…. Obsessed with weird dads…. Normal dads…. She’s weird….” Had me howling 😂😂

[@egraham3000]

44:44 It's the same actress. Isabelle Fuhrman plays Esther both looking like a child and looking like an adult.

[@ShittyShittyGameGang]

And she was only 11 when they did this movie, and 23 when they did the prequel.

That time stamp though! 44 is my lucky number, but the double is some serious timing!

I put my life on hold when I saw Kat had an Orphan reaction. Fantastic performance from Isabelle Fuhrman. In this film she's an actual "child" who plays one, but is actually an adult. In the prequel Orphan First Kill, she is an actual adult who plays a child, who is an adult! And she pulls it off.

[@EllisThings]

"Mourn it out, and get stuff done!" - truly words to live by Kat, bravo!

Full disclosure - I have never seen this movie. Rarely do I ever watch a reaction to a film I've never seen. In fact, this is a first for me. Doesn't make sense, right? But Kat, you do these so well that I just had to react along with you. Seeing a shortened version through the eyes of another actually didn't take away from the enjoyment. By the way,I think it's time that Vera Fermiga and Toni Collette do a horror movie together. That would be an unstoppable duo!

[@lisabeloved]

Actually this movie is based on a true incident of a woman, Barbora Skrlová, who posed as a 13-year-old boy in Norway. And there was ANOTHER incident that happened after this movie (probably inspired by it) where an Indiana couple adopted six-year-old Natalia Grace from Ukraine...in that one apparently the girl threatened the family and there's dispute as to what her age is. It's another weird instance of life imitating art.

[@SushiMilk]

There's the result of the Ukrainian girl. It turns out the evil people who adopted her faked the whole thing. kzbin.info/www/bejne/bKHaq5yQpMp1fNksi=B9qW7PQxjr_MYQNM

For as much as I enjoy the "hidden psycho killer" aspect of the movie, you absolutely are right. As someone who is adopted, my goodness. I remember this movie had a *lot* of talk around it when it came out about that fact. How it would potentially make people reconsider. There's already an enormous amount of children in the system, and enough ways of demonizing the "unknown" aspect with them without adding this kind of thing to it. In a vacuum, completely separated from the real world and anything? It's great. But as things are, yeah... Thank you so much for the reaction though! Keep on Keeping on, Kat, and thank you so much for doing what you do! And lol I'll keep rec'ing it, but I'd LOVE for you to see the 2004 Thai film Shutter.

41:37 Shauna Rae, TLC! 😅 But there was also a tragic opposite case with a girl named "Natalia Grace". Look her up. Her foster parents actually accused her of being older than she claimed. I don't know too many details but apparently she had a very troubled childhood because she has a rare form of dwarfism. For a short while people actually thought she was a grown woman and that she tried to murder her foster parents. Joe Rogan claimed something like that when he had Tim Dillon as his guest. It's just a pretty good example of how false information spreads. I always tend to quote YMS on this, people should try to avoid forming strong opinions on something that they haven't done their own research for....
