Rave: Getting The Orphanage at home tonight

Post by JL21 »

Netflix is sending me "The Orphanage". I'll have it at home tonight.

Look at this creepy little bastard. Can I just tell you how stoked I am to see this movie?

I saw it a few weeks ago in the cinema. It's pretty good. But not as good as Pan's Labyrinth. But better than Cloverfield.

It's a different kind of movie than Pan's, right? I'm expecting something more like "Devil's Backbone".

Yes definitely. Pan's is a fantasy film, Orphanage is a smart horror film. More similar to Devil's Backbone than Pan's Labyrinth.

Last night I went to see "Teeth". :D

I had to look that up to see what it was. Just so everybody else can see what I saw, here's the Netflix description:
When virtuous high school student Dawn (Jess Weixler) becomes the victim of a sexual assault, she discovers that she has an unexpected line of defense: a toothed vagina. But for Dawn, coming to terms with the power and dangers of her anatomical anomaly may be easier said than done. Director Mitchell Lichtenstein's provocative feminist horror flick also stars John Hensley, Hale Appleman and Josh Pais.
I must now ask.... how was it? Because I could see it either being terrible, or lots and lots of fun.
