Orphan

Vera Farmiga, Peter Sarsgaard

Great old-fashioned thriller. Took the time to introduce the characters, set them in a realistic context and gradually ratcheted up the suspense. Story was a variation on The Bad Seed. Maybe...the really, really bad seed...

The resolution was so extreme it made me laugh (where were all those cops?) but they succeeded in keeping me guessing all the way.

Fun, scary, tense...
