El Orfanato

If you ever want to be frightened out of your skin one of these days, go watch El Orfanato (directed by first time director Juan Antonio Bayona and produced by Guillermo del Toro).

Seriously freaky stuff. I had my eyes closed most of the time (for those who know me, you'd know this is my way of watching horror movies) and still I couldn't shake off the eeriness of the film.

D, who LOVES getting freaked out, enjoyed himself immensely. There were a few scenes when we, along with the rest of the audience, jumped out of our seats because of how brilliantly scary they were set up.

Hollywood movie directors, please take note. This is how you make a great horror movie.
