Laura (Belen Rueda) returns to the orphanage where she grew up with the intention of restoring and reopening the long-abandoned building as a home for disabled children. However, as Laura and her husband prepare for a new life, their young son, Simon, disappears, and Laura is convinced there are supernatural forces at work. Despite merely serving as producer on the project, the stylistic hand of Guillermo Del Toro (The Devil’s Backbone, Pan’s Labyrinth) is certainly felt in The Orphanage, though with a fine balance of beautifully crafted storytelling and back to basics scares, J.A. Bayona delivers a far more enjoyable and affecting experience than anything Del Toro has so far managed.
