THERE'S SOMETHING WRONG WITH ESTHER. Leena Klammer, also known as Esther Albright (or Esther Sullivan?) is the central antagonist in the psychological horror films Orphan and Orphan: First Kill, part of a gripping duology that delves into the chilling psyche of a character disguised under the facade of a child. Initially introduced to audiences as a seemingly innocent orphan, her portrayal by Isabelle Fuhrman immediately sparked interest due to her mysterious and sophisticated demeanor, unusual for a child.
I will be breaking down the complete timeline of Esther, from her tumultuous rampage in Estonia to her deceptive integration into the Coleman family in the United States to her origins and potential downfall in icy Connecticut waters.
In addition to analyzing her character, I'll cover two real life cases related to her, one that may have inspired her character, and one that may have been inspired BY her. Finally, I'll discuss Esther's place within the horror genre, analyzing the elements that make her a standout horror icon, and why the prequel, "Orphan: First Kill," both succeeded and faltered in further developing her story. This is the ultimate guide to Esther, the terrifying enigma who captivates and horrifies audiences worldwide.

As an Estonian its quite obvious that there were no estonians on the production team, there are details that dont make sense, Leenas estonian is horrible I had to listen to her speaking estonian several times to make out what she was saying and the only reason i understood what she was saying was thanks to the translated subtitles in the video.

[@Wisteria_Therian]

i honestly agree, only bit of estonian i understood in the movie without issues was when she was told to put the pencil down

[@YourWaywardDestiny]

I suspect an Estonian background was picked because there would be a lot fewer people to offend, or raise any red flags. Fewer people to spot the laziness means they could get away with putting their budget into things other than making it accurate. Every time I see my neck of the world through the lenses of someone who clearly knows nothing about it, I like to pretend it's a parallel world version where that would make sense, and that is the odd accent we're all accustomed to, and we would build a house like that, and that is how the weather works at that time of year, and that highly-specific object that the film-maker didn't realize is a regional thing where he's shooting is also common here.

Ha ha, guys...very (not) funny. 🙄 Everyone knows "Estonia" is a fictional country, and it's just one of those places "that sound Eastern European" which lazy, close minded writers have used in movies and other media forever. I failed geography 7 times because I refused to believe that Genovia (from The Princess Diaries) was not a real place. Other examples include these: Latkovia (home of Dr. Doom), "Kazakhstan" (from the movie "Borat"), but probably the most famous fictional country ever is "Transylvania", which is, of course, the home of Dracula, Wolfman Jack, Frankenstein, The Mummy, and Dr. Frankenfurter. Tbh, I find it a bit bigoted to not use real names of real countries but instead just slap on an "-onia" or "atvia" to some gibberish as a replacement. Hollywood needs to stop trying to confuse all of us with this foolishness, and I refuse to ever be made to look like a moron again! 😠👎

11:15 I'm pretty sure Leena killed the security gaurd while she escaped cause he only wanted her beacuse he was obvisously a pedo****. Leena wants someone who'll love her as a woman, not a child

[@ollehkacb]

Kind of hard if you act like a. 10 year old.

[@ghosts_are_real]

@@ollehkacbyeah that’s kind of why she’s continuously self sabotaging herself with these schemes of hers with the families. she only knows someone to love her when she is a child, even if it’s not what she wants, so she does what she can to lure them in and just hopes they accept the change, even though a healthy and normal person (what she wants) would not go for that. she’s just doing what she’s familiar with and has known to work, even if it’s not something she’s happy with. the only way she could fix this is by consistently acting like a grown woman and “growing up” in a sense, but as Zac said, she can’t bring herself to do that, so it’s just a cycle of self harm and harm in general that will likely not end until she is permanently stopped like we might have seen at the end of the first movie. sure, she’s a psychopath that took advantage of peoples empathy and killed several people, but it is really sad to see why she does so after seeing the whole picture

And the irony of a KZbinr having these economic/generational views when you literally benefit from an era where you can make a living wage talking about stuff in your room and putting it on the internet. And many KZbinrs, especially from the early years of this site are also millennials, who had to deal with the criticisms of older generations claiming that they needed to get real jobs. This site is successful mostly because millennials got tired of the traditional route of trying to get ahead and make a living. Which is proving to no longer be what it once was.

[@iPancake3]

[@clemi2601]

Yeah the part were he says he's not letting himself be defined by his childhood when he's making a living of analyzing and making detailed timelines of movies that came out during his childhood/teenager's years sound incredibly hypocrite. And besides it's hardly the first time that family all lived together during times of economical duress. There's nothing inherently millennial about it, and they aren't even the most affected by unemployment, it's gen Z. And yet no one goes and criticize them for 'being lazy' or going to amusement parks. So that whole point felt unnecessary and overdone.

[@floridafrostbite8002]

I think some of the Millennials remaining in childhood think is also because of more recognition of mental health disorders such as autism and adhd without it being all over the place. I have Aspergers myself and because of that I have imprinted on Pokemon as a special interest and no one is forcing me out of it.

[@AnnieMustange]

This is my first time hearing about millennials being infintilzed. Idk about that. It just feels like a dig just cause a lot of millennials, and gen z too, aren't hitting the typical adult milestones. Like owing a house and having big families, etc, cause it's just too damn expensive. At the same time, we are free to do and act how we want, but does that mean we are acting childish?

[@phantom6315]

I absolutely despise people who infantilize others just because they have some mental handicap like Autism/Aspergers and/or ADHD. to go with it. As someone who has both myself, I was bullied in high school because of it and kids often babied talked me like I was a toddler and couldn't understand what they were talking about which always pissed me off. Still does even now, but now it makes me so nervous to mention it to anyone, even if its to help me like in college and stuff or people in general. I'm afraid of people taking advantage of me emotionally/mentally and hurting me in some way just because I was born a certain way and act differently from others. I get imprinted on a lot of special interests which causes me to annoy people about them (unintentionally ofc) bc I talk about them so much, but it's so so hard to control myself bc once I start talking about them, I get too excited and don't notice when I need to stop until someone literally has to say "hey, calm down" or "you're going off on a tangent again" and such which sucks

[@nachgeben]

@@AnnieMustange Fellow Millennial here. Millennials are absolutely embarrassing. Our generation is marred by full grown people who are known as Disney Adults or as obsessed with things like Harry Potter. THAT'S what makes us look childish. There's also the fact that there are Tiktoks of Millennial women talking like sperging babies instead of the adult women they are. It's ALWAYS women. I hate it and if you don't see the problem, then you are the problem.

[@nachgeben]

No ne will force you. It's been taught now that it's some sort of ableism to want to help someone anywhere on the spectrum, to become the best adult they can. If you want help curtailing your need to focus, or where you've 'imprinted' your special interest, I sincerely hope you're able to find an understanding mental health professional, who specializes in Asperger's.

[@davemccage7918]

Autism has existed for all of human history, millennials are the first generation where such a high percentage act like children well into adulthood. There’s nothing wrong with liking something juvenile (such as Pokémon) as an adult, but if you show up to a job interview wearing a Charzard shirt I’m not going to hire you. And adults going to Disney Land alone is just flat out weird.

[@croissant2882]

yeah okay but the universal basic income isn't about "being given an allowance" it's about not working yourself to death for 50 years because otherwise you have to decide wheter to eat this month or have a place to sleep. Would be nice to make my rent doing videos on youtube but not everybody has an opportunity to do this, so the rest of us spends our life behind a desk, seeing our family for like 1/5 of a month. UBI is about giving people what they deserve for existing - housing, food, and pleasures, and an opportunity to work on what they love, not what they have to do to survive. You do great research about movies, would be useful to make great research about movement like this as well before you start mocking people for wanting to not starve or die of stress before they hit their 40s

[@croissant2882]

also millenials arent stuck as "childish" because of cartoons. World fucking sucks and everything is dying, we are all depressed and refusing to have children because it would be cruel to give life in a dystopia. Not being able to buy a house is not childish, and nostalgia is the only thing keeping those people together, and it's still by a thread. The whole take is completely ignoring the generational trauma that concerns all of us. Could've done it without that part, my guy.

[@Financiallyfreeauthor]

[@TrevonFoxxx]

I 100% agree, like I’m so sorry but a KZbinR critiquing how other people get money/deserve money is so daft and tone deaf.

rdm millennial hate felt unwarranted. Shows/Movies have been based off toys since the 80s... It was completely normal to live with your parents for your whole life for most of human history. it saves money, free house builds generational wealth, parents are looked after in their old age and can help raise the grand children. Millennials are only getting hate now because were reaching a point in history where they are at the center of discussion, wealth discussions, political discussion, etc. Give it a bit of time, and people will be saying the same thing about the next generation, and milennials will be talking about how kids these days are soft and not tough like they were.

[@jasonblundelldobebussing]

13:02 it's odd. She is in Estonia, but the Policeman's uniform is clearly Russian. It even says "Полиция".

[@RZDraws]

It's possibly an error from the film makers, and easily explained by the fact that the Estonian uniforms used to have Russian written on them at least up until August of 1991 when Estonia gained its independence from the Soviet Union. I can't say when the uniforms were changed, it could've taken years, it could've been immediate, as I am not from Estonia myself. However, we could choose to believe that in the movie version of Estonia, it took a little longer for the police uniforms to stop using Russian on them.

​@theatre721 you are welcome, history has always been some of my favourite topics as I firmly believe that we can learn from our past a great deal. This being said, I highly recommend on checking on what used to be the Soviet Russia and more over what countries gained their independence when it fell, along with which ones were able to become their own nations before it. It puts a lot of things into perspective, even if it can be confusing and messy, but that is how most of human history is, fascinating yet confusingly messy.

[@QueenOfTheDead2023]

Man, ngl I was slightly concerned when I started this video since I had a feeling the Natalia Grace case was gonna get brought up but I'm happy you handled the case with respect. I didn't know the part about that bs ruling because of that county changing her age to making her older than she actually is, but I'm glad she seems to be doing well. In terms of Esther herself, she's a fascinating villain and it was a pleasant treat to get a Horror History video on her. Though if I may make a recommendation for another Horror History video, can we possibly get one about Sadako Yamamura from the Ringu franchise? Being one of my favourite movie villains, Sadako's history is quite heartbreaking and (I've noticed recently) has interesting similarities to Candyman with the themes of how hate inflicted on someone in their life can turn them into a monster in death.

[@SirNerdLeroy]

I could see a Lolita inspired movie where Leena manages to kill a man's wife, but he does have a thing for little girls, so they get together, but she didn't realize that getting what she wanted meant she would still be treated like a child and be controlled by the dad. It's clear that Leena is now the protagonist of these movies, so it would make sense to have another film where we want to see her win against someone worse than her.

[@practicalgamer4991]

That plot makes more sense. Being adopted by a rich guy after being an orphan.

[@JustTanya.]

Just that one little clip inside the TV frame, the rest of the scenes are from "Poor Little Rich Girl". Sarah in "The Little Princess" was not really an orphan since her father was alive nor was she adopted. Than again, Barbara from "Poor Little Rich Girl" wasn't an orphan either since her father was still alive too. Maybe Leena/Ester watches them because she wants to copy traits of Shirley Temple into her childlike persona. 🤷🏻‍♀

[@MegCazalet]

@@JustTanya. In the actual book Sara becomes an orphan and does eventually get adopted by a very wealthy man (her late father’s business partner) and her own family fortune is also restored. I haven’t seen the Shirley Temple version since I was a child, and I know they changed the 1997 version too, so I assume it also eventually turns out her father was miraculously alive after all in the Shirley Temple film?

[@JustTanya.]

@@MegCazalet Yeah, at the very end of the Shirley Temple movie she finds her father in the hospital. He was recovering and had amnesia though he would call out her name, the hospital staff just figured it was his condition. Eventually she finds him and tried to get home to remember her and he does. After she meets Queen Victoria I might add. LOL The 90s version, it has been a long time since I seen it but I think it was similar; her father was injured in the war and got amnesia. He just happened to be living next to the school and somehow towards the end he remembered his daughter and gets her back. Not that different to the Shirley Temple ending. I could be wrong though because I only saw that movie once many years ago. I prefer the Shirley Temple version. I haven't read the book since elementary school, almost 40 years ago, so I forgot quite a bit of it. I just remember the Shirley Temple version because I love all her movies and still watch them.

@@JustTanya. Mentioning any Shirley Temple's movies makes my skin crawl.

[@CBrown86]

I think the main reason millennials struggle is because during the time when we would usually be pursuing higher education, our alcoholic or pill addicted parents couldn’t help one bit. Add that the recession hit during this same time as well. A lot of older millennials were dealing with a lot of generational abuse and addiction issues with our parents, as when I (a millennial ) was a kid, it was completely normalized to beat your kids, and parents wanted you out of the house when you turned 18. Many of us had to get full time jobs straight out of high school and may have needed to shack up with other people our age so we had a place to live. This in turn may have led to having children too early, adding yet another roadblock and challenge to going to college. Millennials had to grow up too fast, which may be why we tend to enjoy childhood nostalgia

The reason why we are so effectuated in so deep into nostalgia. It's because we are self-medicating with nostalgia. Looking back at the times where we could just go to school eat some cereal. Watch some cartoons or anime. Talk about wrestling disney cartoons disney movies. Without thinking about how am I going to pay my light bill. We're not afraid of growing up. We're afraid of being homeless because of the struggles. Of the modern day society of growing up. Everybody grows up but not everybody grows up and has problems. That's every millennial in america right now. Because we're either self-medicating with drugs. Over self-medicating with nostalgia. This is why this generation is so lonely. This is why this generation is so hooked on drugs. Because the world we live in is constantly pushing us down. When we try to grow up. You can't buy a car you don't have the money too. You can't afford an apartment you don't have the money too. The only way you can go to school is staying with your parents. Even then you try to move out finally. You can't because you have college debt. This is why our generation is not getting married not leaving home. So hooked on nostalgia. Because the freedoms of being an adult are not so free. Depression is increasing because of the not so free liberty. Of what the past generations could do as adults. You probably could back then buy a car for $5,000. $5,000 wouldn't get you any car today. $5,000 would barely get you a apartment and that apartment is not decent. The reason why millennials are not getting married right now. It's simply because they do not want to get into bigger than with somebody. So they wait later on when they're in a situation. That is better lucratively to find someone. So if that person does have debt. The debt won't be so outrageously huge for both of them. That's the sad thing about it the whole millennials.

As someone with BPD(no childhood abuse just a really neglectful mother) we do move often simply bc we get bored. Our brains do not have a 'grey area' meaning we have no calm point were either extremely happy and all into something or extremely cold and disconnected. We tend to do drastic things that may put us in danger simply to get that joy that 'normal' people feel like dating abusive people, running away, fighting/hurting ourself, sleeping with people we dont know getting tattoos and piercings(which is a safer method) etc. It makes it hard to keep friends and relationships because one second were happy and in love then they do something we deem as 'wrong' and it shatters that view we have of them and leaves us angry and hateful towards them. Unlike bipolar disorder our mood swings last for days compared to bipolars quick turnover. It is extremely hard to live with the illness and many of us do end up taking our life because of it, living normally is hard and we tend to take personality traits from others both real life people and movie/tv show characters. It sucks since were always typically portrayed as bad/evil and many of us are not, I can only vouch for myself but I will say the movie portrayal of us tend to be strongly incorrect and very few of us ever become killers which makes sense since less than 1.6% of the population actually has a cluster B personality disorder.

I really wasn’t a fan of him bringing in BPD as a part of Leena’s timeline. It doesn’t add anything to our understanding of her character. This disorder is so misdiagnosed and misunderstood by professionals so it really isn’t a good idea to use it to analyze a fictional character. All it does is further misconstrue a heavily stigmatized disorder

[@demarcosmith581]

Cz can you do a video on the history of the leprechaun from the leprechaun franchise next?

[@Matthew_KNGP1N]

Lena's story was interesting especially the movies 🤔 but the 2nd one after learning her story I was actually feeling bad for her & cheering her on 😂 at the end

HORROR HISTORY OF LEENA KLAMMER IS SOMETHING I'VE WAMTED TO SEE HERE FOR A VERY LONG TIME.

[@taniyasarkar758]

you don't know how much i wished you to make a video on this movie. its one of my very few horror movies that ive watched and a detailed video is cheery on top of nostalgia

[@mocha32379]

I had no idea the movie was inspired by a real crime case that happened in my country! I love that you deliver both horror lore and interesting facts from real life tied to it, amazing vid as always CZ 💙

Even if Esther's neck didn't break then she would die of drowning in the freezing cold water.

3:20 I could’ve sworn that the boys were the children of one of the women and the person with the condition was”adopted” and later manipulated the mom into doing those things by lying on the boys

[@julzmusic8708]

I love the deep dive and also that you mention the plot holes without saying they’re plot holes - but it purely reminds me of a time where Ryan George as ‘producer guy’ in a pitch meeting would ask all of the same questions you’d ask and then ‘writer’ guy would say ‘because the plot had to happen’ … you’re exceptionally generous when you detail plot holes made by the writers, though you call them out it’s much more gentle than the equally beloved Ryan George.

How is universal basic income childish? I can understand being for it or against it but dismissing it as merely childish whining specious.

[@Ashykitty]

Right? It's a very uniformed take. UBI works and can virtually eliminate homelessness, burnout, and employers abusing employees.

27:00, i find it so funny he says this when there are hundreds of actions movies where men do the same thing of leaving a burning buolding in a fire outfit. Why can't you just have a logical breakdown of a movie without being misogynistic and trying to make it into a joke? Sheesh.

[@brendanthedreamer]

I liked everything up until the badtalking of universal basic income. I'm someone with a near-full-time job who helps support their family and UBI would be a godsend. It isn't people who are just upset because daddy wouldn't give the money, it's people who don't have the money to go around and have to make difficult choices between rent, food, and gas. It's kinda a shame that you chose to see something that could help so many struggling people as just "WAAHH WAAHH GIMME MONEY!"

I was enjoying this until the "millennial infantilization" part. That felt like it had nothing to do with the movie, and was just tacked on to make fun of a generation of people. The way you talked about it didn't feel like you actually understood the actual issues at all, either. Just wanted an excuse to crap on a bunch of people for... whatever reason.

[@elizabeth.601]

Bruh... its not that deep. Relax

[@Doggo_is_sus]

Her being a killer can be easily assossiated with lack of FSH and LH production. Kids dont feel empathy until someone teaches them. Kids tend to be more sadistic than grown ups 90% Of the time. FSH and LH produce hormones such as oestrogen and progesterone which give them the motherly empathy , you can see grown women being more empathetic than grown men. absence of this can also make her more sadistic. and yes hospitals can sedate people who are out of control and can be danger to patients

[@an4275]

love this horror history but your comment on universal basic income was grossly out of place & such a misunderstanding of its purpose. please keep those kinds of remarks out of future videos :(

[@BoyBlunder66]

Yeah, that entire segment felt like a weird forced tangent.
