neutral · AI labelView post →J. A. Bayona’s THE ORPHANAGE is truly that perfect supernatural gothic horror film. Scared the living daylights out of me when I first saw it in 2008, before shattering my heart into pieces. Revisited and it is still that same heartbreaker. Perfect, timeless, 10/10, no notes. 💔
positive · AI labelView post →#letterboxdfriday #lastfourwatched #filmsky #moviesky Pretty interesting movies this past week. I didn't even finish The Elixir because of how frustratingly stupid the protagonists were. But Hardware is a very interesting movie and so was the Orphanage (albeit a tad slow).
neutral · AI labelView post →I watched a 2007 Spanish movie called El Orfanato (The Orphanage) last night. It's really good. There's a reveal towards the end that's an absolute gut punch. Highly recommend.

neutral · AI labelView post →The Devil's Backbone is one of my favourite ghost stories. I also think the Orphanage makes a beautiful companion piece to this film. Ghosts have always been a large part of my life. Ever since I was a small boy.
positive · AI labelView post →Share a SCARY movie title that begins with the letter “O” 🎥 O is for… The Orphanage 🖤

neutral · AI labelView post →Today's movie was THE ORPHANAGE from 2007. It's a Spanish Gothic Horror film, produced, but not directed by Del Toro, though it still seems very much like one of his films. If you're afraid of creepy children, stay away from this one.

neutral · AI labelView post →I thought I had a copy of this one, but turns out the depressing, Spanish horror film I have is The Orphanage. Weather's clearing out but not gone yet, so I'm not going to fight with streaming. Hate to miss it though. Excellent pick #frightclub
positive · AI labelView post →Just bought The Orphanage dvd today at my local used book exchange. Beautiful and sad #horror movie gem. I highly recommend it
positive · AI labelView post →The Orphanage. A film that terrifies me *and* breaks my heart.
positive · AI labelView post →If you enjoy horror movies like Pan’s Labyrinth, Hereditary, A Dark Song, and the Orphanage, consider giving to the Kickstarter for OFRENDA, a new haunting, beautiful and horrifying short film.

neutral · AI labelView post →Jurassic Park is the only film I saw more than once in the theater (my friend worked there so it was free) The Orphanage is one I always see people list and I get it, but couldn’t be me. That movie made me feel awful in long lasting, lingering way

neutral · AI labelView post →*The Orphanage is one of the best movies I have ever watched in my life but I am not a scary movie person and it deeply freaked me out and I just don’t think I could face it again.
positive · AI labelView post →I once watched the movie The Orphanage with someone with a date and she jokingly asked me "is this movie going to make me cry" and I was torn between my "no spoilers" position and the simple truth of "it is going to make you, specifically, weep like a baby, but you'll like it anyway".
positive · AI labelView post →If you see this, quote with one of your favorite horror movies using a gif. …welp, this is what I get for enjoying a semi-obscure horror movie. It’s not in the gif library! So you should go watch The Orphanage (2008). And if you know Spanish, you can enjoy the original movie, El Orfonato (2007)!
positive · AI labelView post →Though I will say one horror movie that has absolutely stuck with me and shit me up no end is a Spanish language movie, The Orphanage. Utterly unsettling.
positive · AI labelView post →The Others 13 Ghosts House on Haunted Hill (both versions!) The Changeling The Orphanage Hell House LLC And even though it's technically not a haunted house movie, I think Tales From the Crypt: Demon Knight gives haunted house vibes!

neutral · AI labelView post →Doesn't he already? *researched* He founded a studio called The Orphanage in 2005, but it closed several years later. They were going to helm a Dark Crystal movie, which ultimately morphed into the Netflix series. Huh... Well I guess he has no studio of his own now!

neutral · AI labelView post →Our #Halloween👻 watch-party double-bill: Robert Eggers' 'Nosferatu' (2024) - great full-on Goth remake with fine performance by Lily-Rose Depp, currently my fave version J. A. Bayona's 'The Orphanage' (2007) - moody, well structured, unsettling ghost story with fine performance from Belén Rueda
positive · AI labelView post →The trailer doesn't do it justice. But if you're looking for more spooky vibes than jump scares, it's The Orphanage. Beautiful and frightening film. youtu.be/UkuKtS-N1rM?...

neutral · AI labelView post →So many favorites, but since I rarely see it mentioned, The Orphanage. I love this movie, it’s so creepy, and beautiful, and deserving of many rewatches.
positive · AI labelView post →When asked my favorite horror movie, I usually answer with my top tier trio of Scream, The Descent, and The Orphanage. I've been thinking I ought to add Ravenous? But four movies seems unwieldy...

neutral · AI labelView post →The Orphanage! To this very day it is the best movie I have ever seen and no, I shall never be watching it again thank you. (I am very affected by scary movies and have bad nightmares and nightterrors so I am not a horror watcher usually)
positive · AI labelView post →I will add one recommendation (because my movie viewing across my lifespan has been very uneven) but it’s a Spanish-Mexican film called The Orphanage. Beautiful film, beautiful ending, I recommended it to a (Cuban) co-worker & it became a favorite of hers.
positive · AI labelView post →I love The Orphanage! Seriously great movie!
positive · AI labelView post →I like supernatural creepy.. The Orphanage is probably my favorite horror movie although it's too sad for me to watch now that I have kids. The last movie I watched that really gave me that atmosphere I like was Sinister

positive · AI labelView post →Night 3: The Orphanage. I kind of still think it's Guillermo del Toro's scariest movie, but it does drag a little toward the end. 5/5

neutral · AI labelView post →34. THE ORPHANAGE remains the film my best friend and I were super close to walking out of because we were too terrified—the Bus accident scene is what nearly did us in. And it just got so much worse from there. Glad we stuck it out.
positive · AI labelView post →Everyone has said the Witch which is my favorite too but another is a Spanish/Mexican horror film - The Orphanage. No one talks about it much but it really good
positive · AI labelView post →The Orphanage (El Orfanato, 2007) was a sleep-with-the-lights-on movie for me!
positive · AI labelView post →2 Horror film/tv programs are my top faves: The Haunting of Hill House & The Orphanage. Both are devastating. But they do it with such empathy that I’m entirely good with it. & that’s the thing. That’s the difference. It’s why Psychological Horror is my thing and pretty much all else isn't.
positive · AI labelView post →I also support The Orphanage. One of my absolute faves. Such a beautiful film.

neutral · AI labelView post →The Spanish movie “The Orphanage” also has a wackass ending.
neutral · AI labelView post →I believe that was GDT's third film, and plays well with Cronos and Pan's Labyrinth. He also produced the stellar The Orphanage, the other one I likely would've mentioned.
