The Orphanage

Went out the whole of todae...
so feeling kinda tired...
so i shall juz skip all the way to the movie rating...

went to Cineleisure todae...
watched The Orphanage...
some kind of a horror movie...
great story... i felt...
everything seems so logical and linked...
excellent plot...
though the movie's in Spanish...
but still...
reading the subtitles is enough to let u understand the movie perfectly...
story's abt an adopted kid who is on the brink of death and his "imginary" friends...
the kids are not exactly scary...
all but one...
the one with the sack over his head...

this movie sure fits the bill for being a horror movie...
horror movies nowadaes dun really get to scare me much...
i didn't jump at most scary scenes from this movie...
only once...
it's been a long time since i jumped from watching a scary movie... LOL!!!

wat's really great abt this movie is actually how it's actually planned...
it shows u certain parts of the movie... yet hides certain details...
it makes the audience use their imagination to picture wat the scene is supposed to be...
nothing is more powerful dan ur audience's imagination...
coz they'll think of the most gruesome sight they've ever known...
more gruesome dan any make-up artist could ever replicate...
it's like... u imagine a very scary face... den the next scene show's "it's" face...
but it totally sucks and ain't scary at all...
u'll be like... diaoz... sibei sian... Zzz...
but if they left out the scary sight... ur imagination will carry on the fear...
keep putting dat fear into u...
the ending is both happy and sad...

i really feel like blogging down ther entire story...
but i shan't...
it's a really nice movie...
go watch it...
4.5/5

something made me ponder...
it somehow made sense...
it's not about seeing is believing...
but... believing... to see...
