Orphan is a 2009 horror film directed by Jaume Collet-Serra, produced by Leonardo DiCaprio and written by David Leslie Johnson, based on a story by Alex Mace. It is set to be released on July 24, 2009. A husband and wife who recently lost their baby adopt a 9-year-old girl who is not nearly as innocent as she claims to be.
The tragic loss of their unborn child has devastated Kate and John, taking a toll on both their marriage and Kate’s fragile psyche as she is plagued by nightmares and haunted by demons from her past. Struggling to regain some semblance of normality in their lives, the couple decides to adopt another child.
At the local orphanage, both John and Kate find themselves strangely drawn to a young girl named Esther. Almost as soon as they welcome Esther into their home, however, an alarming series of events begins to unfold, leading Kate to believe that there’s something wrong with Esther—this seemingly angelic little girl is not what she appears to be. Concerned for the safety of her family, Kate tries to get John and others to see past Esther’s sweet facade, but her warnings go unheeded.
The film’s content of an adopted child causing trouble has not been well received by the adoption community. The controversy has already caused filmmakers to change a line in one of their trailers from “It must be difficult to love an adopted child as much as your own,” to “I don’t think Mommy likes me very much.”
