i would have a hard time classify el orfanto a a horror film or a fantasy film since it bring in the best of both the world . the story move along gently and let the piece of a puzzle fall into place with time . the direction and the screenplay be flawless and suit the pace of the movie . the entire mystery be portray through the eye of rueda and she do the job superbly a a protagonist . for a film involve spirit and ghost i be expect a lot of off the wall scene . at the end i felt none of the scene be induce and every scene be require to solve the piece . this be a mark of a genius for a debut film maker like bayona . positive .
