The Orphanage

I love a good scare and last week my friend Simon and I went to see the new Spanish shocker The Orphanage (El Orphanato). It is highly recommended and one of the more frightening ghost-type films I have seen, like a scarier The Others or a more intricate Sixth Sense. The central set-piece with Geraldine Chaplin in green-screen infra-red light is truly pant wetting and I think Simon and I watched most of it through parted fingers, popcorn forgotten.
