The Ending of 'Orphan' Shocks and Redeems the Entire Movienew

All of the tired cliches wore down my expectations -- resulting in a major moment of surprise in the film's final act. It doesn't make the film a classic by any means, but it does turn the proceedings into a semi-respectable horror film. It's a big, sometimes darkly funny fake-out that works.

Orphan is a persuasive addition to the subgenre of bad-seed-horror films like The Omen where a creepy little kid wrecks havoc and murder on the lives of ill-equipped adults.
