These sound really interesting. I think I'll cue them up on Netflix.

As far as The Orphanage goes, I thought it was really well done. It's one of those scary movies that understand that good acting goes a lot further than cheap gimmicks.

I loved this movie. Everything about it. I was quite surprised by how it was not so much a horror film as it was a dramatic and deeply poignant quasi-fantasy. The ending brought tears to my eyes.

Beautiful film in every way.
