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.

Lots of Waxy Build-upnew
This remake of the 1953 horror classic is mostly rote but occasionally creepy, with some putatively clever jibes at a certain high-profile hotel heiress.
