ok I decided to give this its own post

The Orphanage aka El Orfanato

I recommend this movie.

Unless you are off-put but certain cliches of creaking hinges and creepy children (occasionally in masks), old buildings with antique furniture, all that kinda stuff.

However, if, like me you love the timeless themes of hanutings and old buildings and scary noises at night, this movie might deliver more than a lot of other movies (I've seen) in that vein.

My enjoyment of it may be tied in with my general love for "old" stuff. I can get into scenes taking place in musty damp basements with ominous dark corners. Even in fucking "One Missed Call" there is an entrance into an abandoned burned out hospital and the main character goes crawling through ducts to find a rotted dead body that I liked watching.

But unlike One Missed Call, El Orfanato didn't really have a gimmick or any kind of new twist or whatever. It was more like a grilled cheese sandwich done really well as opposed to a grilled cheese sandwich made with gruyere or some shit.

I saw this last week with my horror-film loving friend, and both of us walked out very satisfied. I liked that it had sort of a sentimental theme in addition to the spookiness.

How dare you venture against gruyère!
