I have watched A LOT of horror movies (though there are some that I'm still too chicken to watch). So, I can tell you the difference between an effective horror movie and one that’s not.
This is only because I’ve seen most of the best horror movies of all time, and I don’t just mean domestically, either, because I love foreign films, too. So, when it comes to something like The Wailing from South Korea, A Girl Walks Home Alone at Night from Iran, Suspiria from Italy, or Wolf Creek from Australia, I’ve likely seen it. And, the foreign horror movie that I want to talk about today is 2007’s The Orphanage (Or, El orfanato) from Spain.
