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 (Isabelle Fuhrman)...but Esther is not what she appears to be and, concerned for the safety of her family, Kate tries to get John and others to see past Esther's sweet facade.

Top Critics' Reviews
Rotten: Decidedly amoral.
Rotten: It would be harder to find a more dark and joyless thriller on the market than this one.
Fresh: It's bloody, you should be warned, but in the end it is worth it.
Fresh: Collet-Serra's film succeeds in being genuinely creepy, is commendably well acted by all concerned, and contains the best twist since The Crying Game.
Customer Reviews
deserves more than five stars..
I saw this movie three times in theatres, which is odd since i rarely go to the movies. Its a GREAT horror movie, and it is different than most.
Isabelle Fuhrman is a great "Orphan"
This movie is just very scary and horrible at the end.The Orphan who is played by 12 year old Isabelle Fuhrman is the best actress who can make the best russian accent.I love this movie even though it friqhtened me out my pants it is awesome.The best made yet which chose out the correct actors for it.I truly reccomend it for the non-coward who is buyinq this(j.k. on the coward)I advise you not to show people under 13 because it is very friqhtninq and has intimate sex scenes and also 40% cussinq.Otherwise this movie deserves 50 million thumbs up.But that's all.
BEST MOVIE TO EVER BE PUT ON THE BIG SCREEN!
