“There’s something wrong with Esther” says the poster for Dark Castle’s THE ORPHAN. Yeah, she has the eyes of a goat-devil and looks like she wants to bite my f*cking head off… Or maybe it’s the fact that she’s a little girl and her name is Esther. I mean, c’mon. Give the kid a chance…
The flick, which comes out on JULY 24th, goes like this: “The tragic loss of their unborn child has devastated Kate and John, taking a toll on both their marriage and Kate’s fragile psyche as she is plagued by nightmares and haunted by demons from her past. Struggling to regain some semblance of normalcy in their lives, the couple decides to adopt another child. At the local orphanage, both John and Kate find themselves strangely drawn to a young girl named Esther. Almost as soon as they welcome Esther into their home, however, an alarming series of events begins to unfold, leading Kate to believe that there’s something wrong with Esther–this seemingly angelic little girl is not what she appears to be. Concerned for the safety of her family, Kate tries to get John and others to see past Esther’s sweet facade. But her warnings go unheeded until it may be too late…for everyone.”
THE ORPHAN was directed and produced by the HOUSE OF WAX team of Jaume Collet-Serra and Joel Silver, and stars Peter Sarsgaard and Vera Farmiga. Check out the trailer below. (And peep the luscious Vera below that…)
