Orphan
By: Samantha Steinhauser
The recently released film Orphan that hit theaters July 24, 2009 struck the box office, making $12,871,483 on opening weekend. The basic plot line is a family that recently lost a child adopt a 9-year-old orphan named Esther. She seems like a normal, extraordinarily smart child as they get to know her. But as the movie continues, the family notices something wrong with Esther. *SPOILER ALERT* Esther seems to be trying to hurt or kill the family through a series of events such as, taking the parking brake off the car while the blood-daughter is inside. Also, by burning the tree house down while the son is inside. Esther takes advantage of the children in the home by threatening to harm them. The mother is not as naïve as the father and realizes what Esther is trying to do but no one will believe her.
I personally think that Orphan was a fantastic movie. I wouldn’t recommend it for anyone under the age of 13 because it is slightly graphic and terrifying. Orphan is rated “R” so no one under 17 is admitted unless they have an adult over the age of 21 with them. If you’re going to watch it, I suggest seeing it during the day with a group of people to make it less nerve-racking. But I hope you eventually see the movie, Orphan because it is a truly amazing movie.
