Orphanage, The

The Orphanage (2007)
Dir: Juan Antonio Bayona

A woman moves into the orphanage where she grew up and starts to worry when her son makes an imaginary new friend.
Beautiful tale that balances a heartbreaking story with some genuinely scary scenes. It commendably relies on atmosphere and suspense rather than effects or gore and achieves the rare feat of feeling original. A well acted and superbly directed film.
