It's a hard knock life for any who dare sign the dotted line on Esther's adoption papers. Think you've got what it takes to be her new mommy or daddy? Think again... because Esther won't stop until mommy's six feet under and Daddy's all hers. 💄 🔪 💋

Fun fact: Vera Farmiga is an actual classically trained pianist. I mean look at her. Of course she would be. Too perfect

[@An-Alien-On-Earth]

I agree

[@ofenomeno1381]

You know who else is a great pianist for an actor, dudley Moore, he was amazing

[@thejoker.nation]

Vera and Isabelle should have gotten an Oscar nominations for this movie , their performances were amazing

[@ChantalLisette7]

Absolutely! They’re phenomenal in this film

[@orangewarm1]

Not sure about that

[@cryingtomatohead8626]

I feel like a lot of people really overestimate the functionality of this family. They were very much on the breaking point and were just looking for a daughter to replace the one they lost as a sort of seal tape. The son doesn't want to be near any of them, the mom is a recovery alcoholic and just had a miscarriage and the dad is a cheater who is still not over his wife almost killing their deaf daughter.

[@paulinegallagher7821]

Exactly. I also think its really selfish of them to not focus on their own children and invest their time with a strange child the other siblings arent comfortable with from the outset. I know its only a movie but stuff like this (homicidal woman child aside) happens all the time; parents fostering troubled kids without considering the impact it will have on their own kids. They are expected to share their home and their lives with a stranger.

[@DajuanH.]

The "I know they fu*k" line still takes me out lol 🤣

[@PettyPumpkins]

The delivery is PERFECT

[@hunterivey]

I remember everybody in the theater laughed when they heard that.

[@CocoCece08]

[@shniyacarter9496]

Not too mention Isabelle (Esther) was 11 acting her heart out

[@thomasbaker2067]

Esther is the perfect villain in a horror movie.

[@PettyPumpkins]

She really is!! Cannot wait to see what she’s up to in First Kill!

[@Kristian179]

I think the biggest problem I have with people talking about Orphan is that they consider it a Horror, when in actuality it seems more fitting as a Psychological Thriller

[@shutupnvibe]

Yes!

[@tristenmoore1275]

Even though it has some dark humor, Orphan works as both horror and psychological thriller. It has a fine balance of both of those things which is what makes Orphan stand out from other films from the killer kid subgenre of horror.

[@EdwardTHead1776]

Horror is a very broad term. Feels weird to try and exclude it from things.

[@va9967]

How does Vera always gasp so deeply like that without ever choking...

[@PettyPumpkins]

Because she’s the best actor on this planet 😭

[@va9967]

Isabelle is the best actress, she nailed her role in this movie.

[@Ant3hunaa]

That’s probably most intense pregnancy scene I have ever seen I don’t remember it being that brutal 😅

[@PettyPumpkins]

It’s a LOT 😩

[@Roseforthethorns]

After this one, I’d say the new Dead Ringers tv show has some of the most graphic birth scenes of anything I’ve seen recently

[@SLOTHSRIDEUNICORNS]

Yep. Never Getting Pregnant.

[@deathbyscience42]

I noticed your Titanic poster in the background. Fun fact: Leonardo DiCaprio was a producer on this film and he's pretty much responsible for Isabelle Fuhrman being cast as Esther. That shot at the end when Esther drowns in the lake is a homage to Jack Dawson sinking to the bottom of the ocean. Btw, this is the best reaction I have seen to Orphan. I love your personality and you guys are hilarious! I'm looking forward to watching your Orphan: First Kill reaction next.

[@ohsukah]

I literally forgot how heartbreaking that opener was. That husband was a huge D, but he was easy on the eyes!

[@PettyPumpkins]

Yes and Y E S 🥵

[@nicoled1164]

Same !!

[@ayanoaishi8489]

This family was a mess before Esther showed up and I love how they portray those actual real life problems

[@mikemullen472]

The husband,.the king of gaslighting. But an incredible movie.

[@PettyPumpkins]

Yes he really is!! That’s the perfect title for him!

[@echo.echo08]

i have only ever watched reactions of first-time watchers because it's kind of like revisiting my own journey experiencing the film the first time through someone else, and i like the theorizing and discussions about how they think the story will unfold, but i have to say that there is actually a charm to watching re-watchers too. I could relate to the eye rolls and understand the sarcasm and biting remarks because we *all* already know which characters are questionable or are up to no good. while i may miss hearing the wild theories and seeing the surprised reaction to the twist, it's still quite refreshing to watch the retrospective reactions of "omniscient" re-watchers.

[@Chilling_with_zozo]

although max is soo small she is soo smart. such a lil queen

[@teneyapeyton9783]

Love how it became a john hate rant towards the end. Cant wait for you to watch the sequel

[@torinkyifh5085]

I LOVE horror movies when there is realistic horror going on; no ghosts or supernatural stuff. Orphan, Midsommar, and Climax are some of my favourite horror films!

[@brandoncameron2686]

Then there's "supernatural horror" where we don't actually see anything supernatural happen on-screen. It's rare. But nothing supernatural actually happened in The Blair Witch Project. It was kinda "real" in a way, haha.

[@asian-americanwithanopinio8954]

"Orphan" is based on a true story. I saw the documentary first so the twist ending in the film was ruined for me. Another horror film based on a true story you should check out is "The Girl Next Door" kzbin.info/www/bejne/mJq1p3ltityKarM

Honestly I would act like that dad too. From his point of view it’s understanding that he believes Esther.

[@Matias-cx3wg]

I needed a movie review channel with a gay perspective and I'M LIVIIINNNNGGGGGG.

[@dejaalston8672]

Orphan is one of the greatest psychological horror movies of all time. It was something new, fresh, unique, inventive, stylish, cool, edgy, hip, and updated such as the concept and themes. The tone and element was scary, creepy, spooky, eerie, dark, gritty, urban, and gothic which works perfectly for the movie. That twist still gives me chills and goosebumps. 😰😱 Isabelle Fuhrman did a phenomenal and spectacular job portraying Esther Coleman as she put tons of emotion and depth into her role. It was decent. To this day I still watch it and I consider it a classic. It never gets old. 😍😎💯👍

[@tree6787]

The dad in this movie pissed me off so bad he's a horrible father! He made his wife feel like she was going crazy he didn't believe a single thing she was telling him! It's like, "Come on, guy, give us a break and be a good father and husband."

I love how he said Daniel was a sociopath even tho Daniel showed clear signs of remorse and was genuinely bothered by what he did while on the other hand Esther was completely remorseless while killing the bird which is textbook sociopath/psychopath behavior. The icing on the cake is that he even admitted that Esther is good at manipulating 😂

Hahahaha the beginning 😂😂😂

[@tedd-ivan]

the dad in this movie pissed me off so much. all of the signs that esther was dangerous was literally right in front of him. even the nun who came over the house warned him that bad things always happen when esther is around and yet you still assume that she’s this perfect little angel? he kept riding for her when he barely even knew her. daniel falls off a treehouse and breaks his neck, max almost gets into a car crash due to esther messing with the car, and the nun is murdered minutes after she warned the parents and in each of those instances esther turns out fine and yet he still doesn’t bat an eye? he refused to listen to anybody’s suspicions and he refused to take what anyone is saying into consideration. the sad thing is, he didn’t even realize the truth about esther until it was too late. i understand he has trust issues with his wife because of her alcoholism but in a situation like this, you MUST believe your wife. his stupidity caused his downfall. the stupidest EVER

[@V-H-S-q3n]

Only reason I wish John survived was for Kate, Max, and Daniels sake. Kate now feels like she failed, and Max saw it. But, I don't feel bad for him.
