Guillermo del Toro presents this Spanish horror film from director Juan Antonio Bayona.

The Orphanage, presented by Oscar-Nominee Guillermo del Toro, centers on a Laura (Belen Rueda from The Sea Inside) who purchases her beloved childhood orphanage with dreams of restoring and reopening the long abandoned facility as a place for disabled children.

It warrants mentioning up front that this reviewer has no predilection for the horror genre and rarely does he see a horror film ascend above mediocrity. But The Orphanage doesn’t just ascend, it soars. One can only hope that Guillermo Del Toro has started a yearly tradition of a gothic horror film from Spain being released in the U.S.
