Creepy...

This week, during a Spanish lesson, we watched a fantastic and very dramatic horror movie: The Orphanage by Juan Antonio Bayona.

The main characters are played by Belen Rueda in the role of Laura, the mother of Simon. Simon is played by Roger Prinap. This film was made in 2008.

Laura, as a child, was sent to an orphanage. As an adult, she returns there with her son and husband. But this mysterious orphanage hides a dark secret…

Her son starts to play strange games with an imaginary friend called Thomas. Her son then disappears. The goal of Laura will be to find Simon. She lets herself be sucked in to Simon’s universe and starts to believe the supernatural events she sees. She will follow the series of clues the imaginary children leave for her. This hunt will allow her to find Simon and to discover the secret of the orphanage. I will not tell you the end of the film, though…

This film is really fabulous. It shows a mother’s love for her son so well. People who like supernatural events and suspense will really enjoy this film. Rent, borrow or steal the DVD now!
