Scene that freaked me out the most (SPOILERS)
When she walks out into the shed the middle of the night and sees Benigna just creeping around. Holy crap!

haha that scene actually made me and everyone I was watching it with laugh cause Benigna looks so crazy and funny
shareYou're right benigna is weird XD
but the scene who give me the freaks is where Laura play with the children in the middle of the night at the game "one, two, tree..." and she return each time!
The 2nd "knock on the wall" scene?- that's a great scene for sure. Everything about that shot gives the scene a sense of tension: the slightly handheld quality of the camerawork, the pacing, the silouettes, the absense of music- when I saw this at the cinema the audience was deathly silent, you could hear a pin drop.
For me the creepiest scene has to be where Simon tells Laura that he's "not going to grow up"- as the conversation proceeds, Laura and the audience slowly begin to realise that Simon knows more than he's admitting to, and more than Laura wants him to know. I just find it really unsettling the way he skillfully picks at her guilt for keeping secrets from him, in order to gauge whether she will continue to deceive him. Plus I always found the concept behind the story of Peter Pan more than a little disturbing
Yes, i mean the 2nd "Knock on the wall" scene. The scene where simon said he not going to grow up is a freaky scene too.
The realisation of the movie is magic, the spectator can feel every scene just by the dark atmosphere in the house. I Think El Orfanato is the first "long time" movie of the director Juan Antonio Bayona i wonder is next movie was a success too.
True, this is his first full length film. I read somewhere that Bayona was planning to do more horror. I also read that a couple of years ago he was approached by execs to do the next twilight movie which he turned down (thank lord). Whatever he does, I hope Sergio Sanchez (El Orfanato's screenplay writer) is on board
shareI'm agree with you, ALL but not twilight! I Did'nt see it but i think is not my genre of movie.
You have seen a many greatly film recently ?
Nah, I've not seen any of the twilight movies, either. "Let the right one in" is more my kind of vampire film.
shareI Always hesitated to buy "Let the right one in", he worth it ?
shareI'd recommend RENTING the movie just in case you see it and don't like it. There's a similarity to the Orphanage in that there's 2 ways to interpret the film particularly the outcome for the two main characters by the end of the movie- people have vastly differing views on how the film should be interpretated which I find compelling. LTROI is also a very creepy, unsettling film and at times very brutal.
shareWorth it if you watch the Swedish one. Many people preferred the American version, but I think the ambiguities in the Swedish version make for a much better film.
