Check out this poster for the Guillermo Del Toro produced creep-out flick THE ORPHANAGE!!!
Ahoy, squirts! Quint here. Yes, I want to see this. Real bad.
This flick opened in Cannes to great reviews... bastards... Creepy anythings with Guillermo Del Toro's name attached has my ass in a seat.
The flick stars Belen Rueda, from THE SEA INSIDE, and focuses on a lady who returns to her childhood home now a mother. She decided to turn the place into an Orphanage... as her little son begins making new friends... invisible ones...
A site called loshorasperdidas.com got the scoop. Check out the poster below!

Only because Dietrich tripped me on the way here...

Why have all the kids got mini arms?
-
Guillermo has done no wrong so far so bring on the Orfanato.
-
It's the closing film of the London Fright Fest this year.

Cool Poster.

In Columbia South Carolina, there was a textile mill in the 1900's that was heavy into child labor and the owner worked kids to death. There was an old furnance in the building where he disposed of the bodies of over 40 kids that died. He was found out and killed by an angry mob. cut to 2006 they have turned the old mill into a yippie apartment building. I thought that is the set up for a great horror film. Almost sounds like this film. I will see it because Del Toro is awesome.

how am i supposed to watch a movie from another country? Maybe if it was from a country that spoke a real language, but i only know this one so i'm not going to bother learning a new language every time a new movie comes out. They should remake it into english so i can understand it better. And sarah michelle gellar should be in it. she's hot AND she speaks english.
-
cause this is Oooooooold news.
-
hey, onefatman!
since you only watch english spoken films I guess you haven't seen no Fellini, no Bergman, no Kurosawa...
...that is until nobody does a remake of THE SEVENTH SEAL with Greg Kinnear in it -
by the way, check out my spanish spoken trailer http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eV1wJEJuUBM

Saw this at Cannes and was very pleasantly suprised by it. 'El orfanato' is really, really good and creepy, very moody and while the pace is sort of slow it's perfect for the tone of the movie
Belén Rueda's performance is also good (can't say great, because it wasn't), the story is very clever as well as the directing
You shouldn't miss it...
...and, yes, it reminds of 'The others'
Side note: Geraldine Chaplin appears briefly in the movie as a medium, and as we exited the Star theater after seeing the movie, we ran into her at the Grand Hotel. Eery. -
but I don't get the love for Del Toro, his films always seem to be a little half-baked...let the storm begin.
-
Del Toro is one of the most overrated directors that ever lived. I've seen all his movies, trying to give the fucker a chance, and they're all either mediocre or complete shit. There's nothing scary about them, the stories are weak, the production design (on the rare occasion that it's interesting) is usually ruined by bad CG realization, and the cinematography is murky and muddled. He even managed to fuck up HELLBOY, and all he had to do to make it good was look at Mignola's books and do what was in them. I personally think Del Toro's equally self-indulgent New Zealand counterpart, Peter Jackson, is way overrated, but Del Toro makes Jackson look like fucking David Lean.
-
And with any luck, it'll screen during the five days I'm there.
-
And runfoodrun and Mosquito March are right... The only interesting thing about Del Toro is his production designs and movie themes, cuz his direction is far from special. What´s the deal with all this love at him? Just because he´s a geek doesn´t make him a great filmeker, guys.

so you'll watch rashomon when they make a us version starring jackie chan?
-
So I dunno that I need to see this one. Also, do I need to explain to some of you retards that onefatman is obviously joking?
-
prisamata - i don't know who those first two actors are, but everyone knows that a kirosawa is a motorbike and not an actor. So i think you need to get your facts straight.
dtpena - i like jackie chan because he does karate, and it seems like he's not talking in english, but if you watch a movie more than once and listen really close you can make out english words! there's something more to find upon every viewing.
But i regress, i would like to ask, what movie is there that is better than the remake? not many to find if you ask me. departed, scarface, ocean's eleven, little shop of horrors, the list is endless . . .
