The Orphanage

Anybody seen it yet? It's presented by Guillermo Del Toro (The Devil's Backbone, Pan's Labyrinth) and I have to say it is truly one of the scariest movies I have ever seen. If you don't mind subtitles, I highly recommend it. Rarely do you find such a terrifying movie that does not rely on blood and gore for shock value, but I could not believe how creepy it was. The music, filmography, and incredible acting combined to make this a can't miss for fans of the horror genre.

Thanks for the heads up - these kind of psychological scary things just freak me out to no end.

Re: The Orphanage

I loved The Devil's Backbone. So creepy and yet so minimal at the same time, where you end up scaring yourself way more than the movie itself does! I hope I get to see this one in the theater.

There were a lot of those kind of moments in this film, I scared the bejeezus out of myself more than once.
