It's Here!





I have been waiting for this film to hit UK screens since it debuted in Cannes last year.

El Orfanato is the Del Toro produced, Baynona directed, psychological-horror/supernatural-thriller that is being touted as the new Pan's.

Whoever is touting this as the new Pan's is obviously a vacuous, lazy, pathetic excuse for a human with no capacity for autonomous thought.

After skimming through snippets and anything else I could get my hands on, El Orfanato looks more like the bastard love child of El Espinazo Del Diablo and Cronos (just without the golden blood-sucking beetle invention).

Whatever it turns out to be or be like, I really don't care. it's bloody Guillermo del Toro and I know I'm going to like it.
