Plot Synopsis

Orphan: First Kill‘s plot synopsis: “Esther’s (Isabelle Fuhrman) terrifying saga continues in this thrilling prequel to the original and shocking horror hit, Orphan. After orchestrating a brilliant escape from an Estonian psychiatric facility, Esther travels to America by impersonating the missing daughter of a wealthy family. Yet, an unexpected twist arises that pits her against a mother who will protect her family from the murderous “child” at any cost.”


Review and Brief Editorial

I reviewed the original Orphan film and had this to say about the film in 2009:

Jaume Collet-Serra’s Orphan is a horror film that has far stronger acting and dramatic moments than are usually found in horror films. In that lone respect, Orphan and The Host have common ground. I want to say that Orphan is characters first, horror second but that is not quite the case as its horror/slasher aspects take precedence seven out of tens times. Instead of showing Esther committing some “incidents” outright from the beginning, the Jaws approach may have been better and kept the audience off balance, guessing, for a longer period of time.

I also wrote a brief (very brief) editorial on Orphan entitled Could Orphan’s Esther become the next Horror Icon?
