I thought I'd bring up a movie just for shits and giggles. I don't know who else is a fan of the classic 1950's horror movies/disturbing factor movies but if you really loved The Bad Seed (1956) then you'll enjoy this movie. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1148204/

I was watching HBO the other night and this movie "Oprhan" just happened to pop on. I remember when the trailers for it first came out and I was sitting there thinking "oh brother, its a knock off of The Bad Seed", but after I stat down and began to watch this movie Orphan 1) I was right, it was playing off the same idea, however 2) The ending is a completely different twist that I was NOT expecting and the movie sorta has its own story by making the little girl an orphan instead of biological daughter.

Its done really well and it has its own creep factors to it. Again don't know if anyone in the guild so far has seen this movie, but I thought I'd bring it up for discussion.

On a letter rating from A-F I give this movie a B.

I haven't seen it, but I know the twist... It's pretty messed up. Like, enough that I don't even think I want to see it.

Well the "bad things" that happen aren't necessarily gross or anything. Like in one incident SPOILER the orphan pushes a girl off the edge of the slide playground thingy. and in another scene when the mother starts to suspect something and starts talking to the nun that's ahead of the orphanage they got the girl from SPOILER the nun decides to pay a visit and the orphan gets the deaf daughter to help her kill the nun when she's trying to leave. . But yeah what happen's to the nun is probably the worst that she does, but the ending is ******** up. Its not really a happy ending, well....it is and it isn't. but I won't say why lol.

Oh and let's not forget how much of the movie was copied from The Ring! (which I believe was intentional)

Orphan (Samara.) Russian (Samara's a Russian name). The last line of the movie was DIRECTLY from The Ring! "I'M NOT YOUR ******** MOMMY!"

But I kinda liked the Ring tribute they kinda did there while maintaining its own story. But seriously there were references throughout. The most obvious being the quote above.

I know. When I said The Ring I kinda meant the franchise. Like I was including all 6 movies, even if it's only in one. I was being general.
