What's The Story

Married couple John and Kate are finding it hard to cope with the loss of their unborn child. To stave off the bad dreams and visions that haunt Kate in the aftermath of this tragedy, the two of them decide to adopt a child. A sweet but withdrawn raven-haired beauty named Esther captures their hearts at an orphanage, and they invite her into their family. Not long after Esther comes home, strange and disturbing things begin to happen, and Kate becomes terribly certain that Esther is not what she seems.

Three Good Reasons

• 1Be it The Ring, The Exorcist, or The Bad Seed, creepy little girls are always great fun.
• 2Esther's well-meaning adopted parents are played by Independent Spirit Award nominated actors Peter Sarsgarrd and Vera Farmiga.
• 3Jaume Collet-Serra is the up-and-coming horror director who brought us the deliciously twisted 2005 House of Wax remake.

Bet You Didn't Know

Isabelle Fuhrman, who plays Esther, has an ear for foreign accents and languages -- at age twelve she already speaks both French and Russian. More about Orphan on Yahoo! Movies
