Write an ordered list of reviews about "the orphanage".
1. Bayona throws in lots of slow creaks and clangs, the art-house-horror equivalent of the jump moment, but none of them can rouse the movie from its terminal emotional torpor.
2. The Orphanage is a classically creepy Spanish horror film and a joltingly modern one. It turns down the thermostat on its chill slowly, deliberately. That just makes the big frights all the more heart-stopping.
3. There's not too much original or surprising in the film.
4. A well-made, Spanish ghost story that will creep you out and draw you in.
5. I'd argue it's emotionally richer and more surprising [than Pan's Labyrinth].
6. Features a few decent chills and has a distinctive tone and look.
7. Adult horror returns to the screen with the crisp and frightening The Orphanage, a haunted-house tale about the dueling forces of childhood friendship and maternal love.
8. [Director] Bayona has fashioned an assured, even conservative piece of work, one that's lusciously filmed and more than a little terrifying but that in the end never widens out to greater art.
9. The sense that there's nothing we can do to protect ourselves and our loved ones may be why The Orphanage is one of the most frightening movies you may see this year.
10. The Orphanage is never less than engaging. Here and there it's even genuinely frightening.
