Yet another movie someone had to drag me to watch, because I saw the trailer and thought "garbage." Blah, blah, blah, bad seed type of thing in the form of a little girl.


I was 100% wrong. This is the best suspense/horror movie I think I have seen since maybe.... well, it's hard to say because they're mostly garbage. This one is not. THis is an exellent movie that was very well done in every way. It felt like an American horror movie, but every time the cliches had the chance to hit, they didn't. There are a few scenes that are particularly disturbing without any sort of violence or menace whatsoever. This "evil orphan" has layers, unlike an evil orphan you might find in a garbage movie. She is a real person, and gradually her character is revealed, and you can even react with empathy to her situation once you learn more about... her situation.

Spoiler alert:
NSFW:
The plot twist came as a complete surprise, and I particularly liked the way they introduced her sexuality before the revelation, leaving the audience very uncomfortable (including myself) for a moment of excellent filmmaking there during the black dress scene with the father. I think the filmmakers spent an excellent amount of time showing how her violent, sociopathic streak blended with her sexual suppression using just the art the father finds hidden on her wall. It was done very well, and you get the sense that she wanted these things for herself, but her growth disorder coupled with a generally psychopathic tendency which may have been spawned from this disorder (along with growing up in a largely uncaring, quiet, and somewhat marginalized Estonia) added to her isolation and pain. Very interesting stuff, and definitely a movie you can fall into as opposed to get bored at.
 
Now I know what I'm gonna watch this weekend in the cinema.

shouldn't have read the spoiler.

NSFW:
....given the fact that the orphan tries to seduce the dad before the movie reveals what's really going on
 
Whats done is done. Lets hope I fall off my bed and get afflicted with temporary amnesia before I view this.

Ok, imma just bitchin but I'm sick of horror movies ruining cute names! I like Malachai and I find out it's a character on Children of the Corn. Now Esther? Boooooo! Name them all something like Helga or Orvil.

Anyway, I still want to see this. :)

Indeed. This would please Esther.
 
I'm interested in the movie but I have a hard time with which ones I can watch and which ones I can't. Gore is a NO NO!!
I couldn't watch the new Amityville horror. The thing by the sink when the little boy gets up in the middle of the night to go pee, and just the extremely jumpy feeling. It makes me ill.
This has happened ever since I watched the Texas Chainsaw Massacre. During that movie I 100% wanted to throw up, serious.
But for some reason, movies like the exorcism of emily rose, I could watch ok (other than her laying all fucked up on the floor and the faces shit before that. That creeped me out but it was ok.
I love suspense, thriller stuff like the Sixth Sense, The Happening (had to close my eyes now and then, just in case), The Village, and The Silence of the Lambs series. None of those gives me nightmares.
So, what do you guys think, watch or pass?
It is SO annoying trying to decide what is ok for me to watch and what isn't. If it isn't, I close my eyes and see it in my head, even if I don't want to. And even after I go to sleep I have nightmares.
 
Watch. It's all suspense but there is some gore and very uncomfortable situations which aren't necessarily violent. But there is definitely pain and gore, and things that are kind of wrong in general.
 
The acting of that little girl was phenomenal (apparently she's only 12?!) but the movie itself didn't "tickle my fancy". To be blunt, it sucked. I hated the bs fake suspense, all it did was piss me off.

Same with the ending.
She needed to die already!!! I mean seriously, she just wouldnt die. It was almost as annoying as the fake suspense. I did love the line "Im not your fucking mommy" though. That line was fantastic.
