Orphan (2009)

Author: Geekscape July 18, 2024 Duration: 41:43
If you thought last week’s pick was grimy, strap in for this week as we clumsily navigate the incredibly socially tone-deaf ORPHAN (2009). Just to get this out of the way, this is objectively a very well-made movie, and both Vera Farmiga and Isabelle Fuhrman shine in their roles… but this is a very uncomfortable movie. The concept of a murderous adult orphan with proportional dwarfism and narcissistic psychopathy is a hard pill to swallow, and that doesn’t even brush the surface of the titular character’s, um, romantic proclivities (thankfully more implied than anything else but still). This movie is late-2000s horror to a bloody T so you just know we were squirming the whole time. Come join our family, why don’t you? Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Ever have that feeling of standing in a video store aisle, staring at a box with wild artwork, hoping you’re about to discover a hidden gem? That’s the spirit Horror Movie Night channels every episode. Hosts Matt, Scott, and Kyle from Geekscape are your guides through the highs and lows of the genre, from forgotten oddities to beloved classics. They fully commit to the gamble, so you get the genuine excitement of a surprising find like *American Gothic* right alongside the shared misery of a baffling flop like *Terror Toons*. The dynamic is less a formal review and more like eavesdropping on friends passionately debating a movie they just rented, capturing that specific blend of nostalgia and snark. Listening to this podcast feels like a weekly hangout where the conversation is fueled by cinematic scares and genuine laughs. You’ll hear their immediate reactions, the tangents, and the camaraderie that turns even the most disappointing film into an entertaining experience. It’s a comedy and film discussion wrapped in the worn-out VHS tape of memory, perfect for anyone who misses the ritual of picking a movie based solely on its cover.
