el orfanato ( the orphanage ) be a very good movie . it have be a long time since i have see a good film in this genre . the genre ghost story i guess . the story be somewhat difficult and complicate to bring it down to a few sentence . in short i could say it a story about a couple and son who live in a large mansion . one day the son go miss and the couple start search for him . it important to find him soon since the boy need medication . when everything fails and they call upon a medium . then they find out about the horrible truth of the mansion past . the acting be definitely worth mention . it solid and believable . i really like the leading character and laura . a very care mother who try everything to find her son back . it truly heart breaking . there be some very good and sometimes scary and scene in this movie . although the major part of the movie be mystery and not pure terror . slowly yet surely you find out exactly what have happen in that mansion . and then there the really good end . just go watch the movie and you will find out in what way it be a good end . el orfanato ( the orphanage ) be truly a worthy watch . highly recommend for fan of ghost and or or mystery movie . positive star .
