You'll Never Guess Orphan's Surprise Ending, Because It's Completely Ridiculous

I knew it! \o/

Okay, well, not the ex-hooker for pedophiles bit, but I doubted "bad seed" was the simple straight-forward ending given the film industry's desperation for twist endings anymore. I was thinking about it the one day after watching the preview on TV and thought, "You know what I bet it'll turn out to be? She's really a psychotic adult who's just small."

For the record, I suck at figuring these things out, so when I do that's not good. Heh. :)

Bwahahaha! I knew it!

This isn't even original. There's an old Donald Sutherland movie where he plays a man whose daughter dies and he goes overseas to try to recover --- France or Italy, IIRC.

Anyway, while he's there he believes he sees his daughter wearing her favorite red cloak, and I think there were some psychic shenanigns involved as well. He tracks the vision down only to find that instead of his daughter the person in the red cloak is actually a dwarf who's been commiting a series of serial murders through the city, and then he gets stabbed himself.

It;s actually a really creepy movie about grief and madness3, but it's the first thing that came to mind when I saw ads for Orphan. Well, that and The Good Son, the other movie it's shamelessly ripping off.

"Don't Look Now". It's an amazing film, but seriously, seriously creepy.

Whereas, "Orphan" just seems insane.
