Orphan: First Kill Reviews
Una película que me quedo a deber mucho, una trama súper novelesca, donde el verdadero origen de la huérfana se siente tan vacío y con muchas expectativas
The plot is actually good but the movie kinda looks cheap.
Dejando de lado la apariencia del personaje, la película es al menos es entretenida y lo que más me gustó al igual que su predecesora fue el giro que para nada te lo vez venir, en fin esta secuela no supera a la original pero es buena para pasar el rato.
lixo lixo lixo lixo.
While this is a prequel to the original Orphan film, I did not like this film because I do not feel there is enough of a horror component presented. While it is understandable to show the history of Esther through where she was before she got adopted, it just presented her as a psychotic murderer who was manipulative. That type of character can be seen in non-horror films. Isabelle Fuhrman nevertheless tried her best on the film, but I liked her in Orphan many miles more because in the first one, I felt the horror and the way she presented it in there was immaculate. In this one, I would consider more of a violent gore film between 2 equally insane characters.
While not unentertaining, this is a dumb film, full of plot holes and a truly unbelievable plot twist. I suppose the filmmakers are aware this is ridiculous beyond belief, and you will be too, if you make it beyond the crazy left turn this film takes.
Genuinely bad film. No idea how it scores in the 70s. The plot is completely preposterous (eg like they wouldn't do a DNA test) and full of terrible horror movie tropes that would have felt at home in the 80s. Acting was OK I guess, but this was awful compared to the first. The "twist" was initially interesting but they did nothing interesting with it and I nearly switched it off 10 mins from the end as it was so obvious what was going to happen (and so very frustrating to watch the stupidity on screen). Worst horror film of the year by a long margin.
The prequel that nobody wanted but was surprisingly fun. It tows the line between camp and serious
This movie was super dumb with major plot holes
First orphan movie I've watched. A little skatty b.utt I enjoyed it. Read a little of my book b.utt 6.10.24 8.2/0. D.B.
I absolutely loved the original Orphan film so was excited to revisit the character in this prequel. After half an hour or so I was a tad underwhelmed as things felt fairly similar to that first film. However ... an absolutely deranged and outlandish twist sends things in a very bold direction which I thoroughly enjoyed. I was not expecting it at all and it made for a truly wild and intriguing second half of this film. I do think they could have played on this a little more and shortened the pre-twist antics to strengthen the post twist antics, but still, a real treat. The de-aging technology or whatever they used worked really well on Isabella Fuhrman and didn't break the illusion at all. Julia Stiles was on fire in a very interesting role. One criticism however is that for large sections of the film the picture had a smoky and murky quality which made certain sections seem out of focus and I really didn't enjoy this. Overall though this film is an absolute blast. Fans of the first Orphan film will love this I'm sure. Despite the fact that for a horror film its never particularly scary, the killer twist and deliciously deranged second half make for one hell of a ride.
My word simply awful...terrible acting...plot holes aplenty and this recieved 71% positive reviews speaks volume of our current film expectations
preposterous! Didn't realise it was a prequel, but I won't be watching the first one!
This film is a prequel to the first Orphan and in my opinion it is almost as good as the original, it focuses on Esther this time, rather than the family she is tormenting, which provides insight on her motives and an interesting perspective to watch the movie through. Overall with the perfect blend of horror and comedy I would recommend this to anyone that enjoyed the 2009 entry and its insane twist.
I actually liked the story line and humour. Having said that, if my child came back with the face of a 30 year old (which she does) I’d be throwing up the red flags right there.
The obvious attempts to make her look younger I. This was painfully obvious. Also with the circumstances, she is not a villain and that takes away a lot from the original movie.
A much better movie than I expected, but still pretty ridiculous.
slightly not as powerful and intriguing as the first movie, but still interesting to watch.
If you love the first movie like I do, you'll love this. They did an amazing job at making Isabelle (Esther) look like a kid again. It follows Esther's origin story, and I personally think it is amazing. I am leaving this review now because I think RT dropped the ball. But I am biased as Orphan is my favorite movie.
