Never Adopt Kids

That's pretty much the moral of The Orphan: never adopt kids, especially if they are older and from another country. Things would have turned out pretty different for the protagonist couple if they had left Esther well alone in the orphanage. Also, said couple could have used some therapy when it came to trusting each other and believing what the other one says. Things would have also been very different had the husband supported his wife. It wouldn't have made for such an entertaining movie, though, because, as it happens, The Orphan was a lot of fun to watch. It was intriguing and suspenseful, but there were also several examples of "why would she do that?" that could have probably been avoided. At any rate, I had a great time watching it at home with my girlfriend, who bought the DVD for the occasion. A fun, scary time!
