Orphan (2009). With lots of "children gone bad" flicks out there lately, Orphan threatened to be another run of the mill of this genre. But nope, instead, it was a genuine and original horror flick and more. The story itself was solid, and there were many subtle subplots to make it that much better. The acting was solid throughout, with nary a cringe when the youngsters came onscreen. The direction and cinematography were commendable. As a horror flick, the scares were real, and there were a couple of scenes that made me cringe for all of the right reasons. Overall, a great entry that Hollywood should take note of. Merci beaucoup.
