Main Synopsis
• Set in Spain, the movie is about a married couple and
  their adopted son who move back to the orphanage
  where the wife, Laura (Belén Rueda) spent much of
  her youth before she was adopted. Laura and her
  husband Carlos (Fernando Cayo) have plans to
  reopen the orphanage in the near future, but strange
  occurrences begin happening and their dream to
  reopen the orphanage becomes irrelevant. The
  strange events start happening when their son Simon
  claims that his invisible friends are in fact real, and as
  the movie progresses, these occurrences become
  increasingly harder to explain. What Laura soon
  discovers through a game of hide-n-seek in the dark
  is that the young children who lived in the orphanage
  when she did, never left.
Why I chose this
                     movie…




I have never liked watching scary movies until I watched El Orfanato.
This movie is addicting, and its difficult to look away. It has the
perfect mixture of thrill,   drama, and scary. You will be on the
edge of your seat the entire time. If you thought playing hide-
n-seek was fun, you won’t anymore. This movie is a must
Critic Reviews
This film was meant to capture the 1970’s of Spanish culture. Things
that made this visible include:
• The style of clothing: very modest, long dresses, collared shirts
                                           Cultural
• The types of cars: very old fashioned, sleek black
• The technology: old film
                                           Content

Why I recommend this film to you!
  • Contained hardly any blood or goriness
  • This movie is meant to make you jump and have your
    heart skip a beat
  • If you want to have that classic scary film, El Orfanato is
    the movie for you!




 El Orfanato was first screened at the Cannes Film Festival in 2007, where
it was met with a huge amount of praise and a 10 minute standing ovation.
And don’t worry,
English sub-titles are
  available for this
   Spanish film!
