The Orphanage (2008)

It's full of scares, too: a tense séance sequence triggers unnerving bumps in the night; a gory traffic accident proves shockingly unexpected; and a small child, snorting like a pig beneath a hideous sack mask hints at creeping, undefined dread. Leading us into another world through doors, caves and tunnels, Bayona proves adept at bleeding fairy tale into horror and gains mileage in the fright stakes with his unfamiliar (to English audiences at least) cast and Spanish locations. As it gears up for a truly unexpected, emotionally draining finale - destined to please or frustrate depending on how nihilistic you like your horror - this elegant ghost story ignores genre conventions to deliver a touching tale of motherhood, love and what may or may not lie on the other side.
