the orphanage

I recently just watched The Orphanage which was brought over by Del Toro (just like Tarantino with Iron Monkey). Wow. What a great film. It reminded me a bit of Poltergist and a bit of Japanese horror films. I even jumped a couple of times. I was even shocked during the ending (hell, my hand was over my mouth......I was that shocked).

What I love about Japanese horror films (and what this film does also) is the tension and suspense it creates throughout the film without resorting to jump scenes every five minutes, erratic camera movement, or loud noises after a period of silence. Every second of this movie has a point to make and it arrives to a beautifully captured climax.

Sidenote: There was this part in the movie that made one woman in the audience scream and everybody laughed in the theatre. It was hilarious.

I highly recommend seeing this film. I watched this over Cloverfield due to me being a big fat ass pussy going to Stratford. I know how to get there, but I'm always scared of being lost. I'll probably go later this week with Daniel if he hasn't watched it yet.

Daniel's coming back on Tuesday. It has been a long time in paradise for him. One month and a week of pleasure beyond his wildest dreams. I wonder if he got laid.
