Unfortunately we seem to have traded the 7.1 DTS-ES soundtrack for the exclusive Q&A, but, as I said in the review, the soundtrack is still truly enveloping and atmospheric!

And Tomas, even though I didn’t really go into the character in the review (mainly for spoiler reasons) would be a great costume for Halloween!

Have you heard there is going to be the almost compulsory Hollywood remake? Apparently del Toro is involved again, but with a different director. Why? Why? WHY?? No need, this movie is pitch perfect and I cannot see a remake recapturing the feeling of this.

Stale Popcorn must be tracking my Netflix que or something…First Rambo and now a review of the Orphanage. I highly recommend this movie to anyone who has not seen it yet. The only part of this movie I did not like was the obviously tacked-on opening credits trumpeting Del Toro’s involvement (on the U.S. release). Stylistically it did not fit the tone of the rest of the movie and it gave the impression of an entirely different vibe. If you can make it through that, you are golden for the next two hours.

Also, if you have a 6.1 or 7.1 speaker set up, the DTS-ES soundtrack will creep you out if you watch this late a night. You can literally hear the scratching through your walls and in the ceiling.

After watching this, I’m going to convince my brother to dress up his daughter in a Thomas costume for Halloween.
